This dissertation explores the adaptive reuse and integration of wasted sites, with specific emphasis on quarries. Quarries are a contested landscape for reuse as they have the potential to become public open spaces for communal enjoyment, or sites for municipal and industrial waste disposal. The former adding cultural value to an urban context, the latter perpetuating unsustainable practices that characterise the modern era. Quarry X in Midrand, is positioned between two coinciding issues facing the urban context. Firstly, as a rapidly developing urban area, Midrand’s sprawling nature has resulted in a neglect of green infrastructure, particularly open green space. Secondly, unsustainable waste management practices have resulted in two landfills (which previously catered to the waste produced by Midrand) to reach capacity and close. Considering the two urban issues mentioned above, as well as the industrial sublime qualities of Quarry X, this dissertation proposes a minimal landscape architectural intervention for the adaptive reuse of Quarry X. The proposed design aims to reconcile the friction between modern-day exploits and cultural enrichment – creating a captivating destination of public use and interest. mi2026 Architecture ML (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities SDG-12: Responsible consumption and production SDG-15: Life on land 2019-12-10T10:20:28Z 2019-12-10T10:20:28Z 2020 2019 Mini Dissertation Manda, RA 2019, Sublime Simplicity : An Alternative Approach to the Adaptive Reuse of a Quarry in Midrand, through Minimal Landscape Design, ML (Prof) Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/72586> A2020 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/72586 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
