The aim of this mini-dissertation is to investigate the vulnerable community of Plastic View to enable development of a contextually relevant design proposal through a human-centred approach. Through extensive on-site investigations using a human-centred design approach to study Plastic View, it was found that learner education was impacted by socio-economic circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic enlarged the existing gap of providing learners who live in vulnerable communities with a right to education. Conversely, digital technology is investigated to bridge digital inclusivity, and offers a platform for educational and social development through merging existing indigenous learning practices by creating a versatile design solution. By contextually and theoretically analysing research and on-site informants a design solution was achieved that contextually applies sustainable building practice that creates an approach for future informal community educational development. mi2026 Architecture MInt Arch Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-09: Industry, innovation and infrastructure SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2022-01-13T06:58:12Z 2022-01-13T06:58:12Z 2022 2022-01-12 Mini Dissertation * S2019 A2022 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/83306 en © 2019 University of Pretoria.
