Industrialization brought about dramatic changes in many major cities around the world, including Johannesburg. However, rapid technological advancements have resulted in the abandonment of many industrial sites often within the confines of expanding cities as is the case with the old Johannesburg Gasworks. The repercussions of the hazardous industrial processes of the past are still present on the site in the form of pollution. This, together with South Africa’s lack of protection of our industrial heritage, has awoken the fear that these post- industrial artefacts might be in danger of becoming extinct if their value is not recognised. This dissertation aims to investigate the potential of redundant industrial sites like the old Johannesburg Gasworks to mitigate the environmental and social issues resulting from the past in an attempt to reintegrate the site back into the surrounding urban fabric. Through the understanding and application of environmental and heritage theories, this dissertation hopes to find a means of using architecture as a tool to mediate the dichotomous relationship between industry and nature, resulting from an exploitative world view, and inspire a new archetype for industrial architecture, that is able to inspire mutually beneficial relationships between industry and nature, whilst creating a didactic and dialectical relationship between the existing industrial heritage of the past and the envisioned contemporary architecture of the future. mi2025 Architecture MArch(Prof) Unrestricted SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-12: Responsible consumption and production SDG-13: Climate action SDG-15: Life on land 2018-01-18T12:10:46Z 2018-01-18T12:10:46Z 2018 2018 Mini Dissertation Minnaar, RA 2018, Remediator - Restoring the dichotomous relationship between industry and nature through an urban eco-textile mill & dyehouse, MArch(Prof) Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/63626> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/63626 en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
