The industrial age has left behind many urban spaces and buildings frozen in time. The city of Bilbao tackled the issue by commissioning famous architect, Frank Gehry, to design an award winning branch of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. This single injection into the urban tissue saved the city from economic and cultural depression by boosting the tourism industry. This dissertation investigates and deconstructs “The Bilbao Effect” to better understand and replicate it’s successes in Pretoria West. The theoretical approach led to the redesign of the existing show-grounds in Pretoria West. The landscape intervention is an abstraction of the greater community by capturing and celebrating a very typical industrial and agricultural built form. The design caters for numerous events, shows, and expositions to take place and attract people from all parts of South Africa to recreate the Bilbao Effect in order to essentially regenerate Pretoria West. mi2025 Architecture ML (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-08: Decent work and economic growth SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-12: Responsible consumption and production SDG-13: Climate action 2019-01-25T07:08:32Z 2019-01-25T07:08:32Z 2019 2018 Mini Dissertation * A2019 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/68259 en © 2018 University of Pretoria.
