The apartheid government strategically used this landscape condition to divide the communities of Mamelodi into different ethnic zones, and thereby encourage tribalism. Despite a change in political regime, the effects of this urban planning strategy persist in the communities of Khalambazo and Selbourne & Site where the majority Tsonga and Pedi groups are in ethnic conflict with one another. The intention of the dissertation is to create a socially cohesive space for multiple tribes of Mamelodi. The research employs a participatory design approach in order to generate an informed understanding of the site. A precedent analysis is used to generate a theoretical toolkit to guide and test the iterations of the design process. As a design response, the dissertation proposes a new landscape condition- a cultural centre that can be reviewed as a constructed landscape which interrogates the natural and vernacular landforms of the site. The cultural landscape explores indigenous food making as a means to express cultural heritage and bring different ethnic groups together. Through this programme and design approach, the dissertation questions the typological understanding of cultural centres in a democratic South Africa.
