This investigation looks into creating a resilient public building within a political continuum which can remain contextually relevant to multiple cultures and civic contexts that are in a constant state of change. The project is considered within the political context of Agonistic Purism, which regards consensus as a temporary order of domination. In this regard, any consensus may be challenged by another conflicting notion. Nothing can be regarded as permanent, but rather in a state of temporary hegemony. Architecture is permanent in relation to rapidly adapting societal life in the city. In Pretoria specifically, Buildings do not have the ability to accommodate a constantly changing society, further becoming irrelevant within its immediate context. The proposed design serves as a backdrop to facilitate the temporary sociological order of domination in Pretoria. Continued contested public claim to the building through multiple users, groups, and event scenarios require it to be functionally, culturally and systemically adaptable in the manner it can facilitate whatever it may be required to. The design attempts to create a permanent structure that can facilitate every individual and accommodate rapid change in an attempt to be a democratic, however, contested built form. Challenging the perception of built structure as private space in Pretoria, the building acts as an inclusive internal public space. mi2025 Architecture MArch (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2017-05-03T14:09:14Z 2017-05-03T14:09:14Z 2017-04-19 2017 Mini Dissertation Vlantis, W 2017, An architectural agon : considering a spatial representation of adapting identities, as a temporal domination of order, in the historic CBD of Pretoria, MArch (Prof) Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/60217> A2017 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/60217 en © 2017 University of Pretoria.
