Place and identity are bound to one another. The places we grow up in and the places we inhabit in the city shape us and construct our identities. When humans are displaced from original habitat and into another, a change in mental construct occurs. This dissertation explores notions of power and identity expressed in the Union Buildings, as well as change in political regimes and the representation of buildings under such regimes over the span of the Union Buildings from their time of conception to current day. This will be investigated in terms of the initiation school ritual using the backdrop of the Union Buildings as a study into the possibility of a new programme allowing for a new image within changing cultural beliefs. Whereas the current Union Buildings is representative of the two cultural/political groups as means of reconciliation preceding the Anglo Boer Wars, the proposed programme opens a new collective memory; one which represents unity amongst all people in South Africa. The architectural intent seeks to explore the relationship of Self and Other, conceptually and physically, by confrontation or contestation of the existing boundaries and controls that occur in and around the Union Buildings. Furthermore, the architecture seeks to disrupt traditional notions of the plinth and the boundary and introduces a third space in which the users of the space can inhabit. The project moves beyond representation of conflicted pasts in current museum typologies, and enables the platform for a new identity to be formed, both architecturally and in the selection of the programme. The proposed programme of the political school facilitates the interception of the structure into the Union Buildings by a forced interaction between the politicians and the public. tm2016 mi2025 Architecture MArch(Prof) Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2016-06-22T13:53:31Z 2016-06-22T13:53:31Z 2015 Mini Dissertation Lehloenya, A 2015, Third space : negotiating the third space as an emergent territory, MArch(Prof) Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/53330> A2016 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/53330 en © 2016 University of Pretoria.
