“To anticipate developments from outside, a city-wide integral accommodation plan has now been made in Arnham, Netherlands. A prognosis is made of which school’s turn it is for renovation, the state of the school’s premises, and how a school fi ts in with urban development trends. We want to be a step ahead of the developments. The next stage is to draw up priorities and then the plan goes to council, which has to release the funds”.

fi g.2.5. Diagrammatic Analysis of Pretoria
The city of Pretoria is the capital of the Republic of South Africa. Its predominant function is to facilitate the administrative functions of the Republic. Various government departments occupy buildings within the city for this purpose.
Landmark attractions within the city of Pretoria, which can be observed from the rooftop of the proposed site of intervention, include the Union Buildings, Loftus Versfeld, the University of Pretoria (UP), the Telkom Tower, UNISA, Freedom Park, the Voortrekker Monument, the ABSA building, the Reserve Bank building, and the Pretoria Zoo.

Urban Framework Analysis and Proposal
The Urban Design Framework is an attempt at establishing an architectural model for the numer-ous educational institutions within the inner city of Pretoria. It is proposed that the educational compo-nent of the city be a catalyst for future development within the inner city.
An attempt has been made to map all of the existing primary, secondary and tertiary educational institu-tions within the inner city of Pretoria (fi g.1.13). This shows that there are a great amount of institutions present within the city.
The framework proposes that all of the educational institutions present within the inner city should be
linked to one another (fi g.2.13). These linkages may be created through the mere sharing of resources, but also through physical connections by way of pedestrian routes. It is proposed that an urban campus for education and recreation might in fact be achieved. This will not be achieved by one broad intervention though. Critical clusters of educational institutions should be evaluated and included into a precinct scale urban development framework. A cluster to the east of the inner city has been identi-fi ed as one such precinct that contains a prominent amount of educational institutions (fi g.2.7).
The identifi ed precinct contains a many industrial/automotive building typologies that are proportion-
ally out of scale compared to the rest of the city. The condition of these buildings are generally poor, dilapidated, and is not of any note worthy impor-tance (fi gs.2.9 - 2.12). The majority of central areas of each city block in this precinct are occupied by either a very low density of similar building typolo-gies or open parking areas (fi gs.2.9 - 2.12). It is thus proposed that new development should focus here and replace the existing industrial/automotive character by one of denser mixed use develop-ment, aimed at not only increasing residential and offi ce uses, but also at increasing pedestrian activity. All this should be done according to the following prescribed urban framework guidelines that utilizes the existing educational institutions as catalysts for development.
fi g.2.8. Bird’s Eye View of Existing Urban Fabric in Precinct
Architectural guidelines for the implementation of the proposed urban framework includes:
Movement
- The main North/South vehicular movement should happen along Nelson Mandela Drive on the eastern edge of the precinct and along Van der Walt Street on the western edge (fi g.2.13).- East/West movement is already articulated by Pre-torius and Schoeman Streets. This should remain the main movement (fi g.2.13)- Pedestrian movement through the precinct should be encouraged. The main routes currently consist of Du Toit and Prinsloo Streets. These movement

corridors should be upgraded with better street crossings and sidewalks, but pedestrian arcades through city blocks should be introduced where possible (fi g.2.15).- Pedestrian crossings should be upgraded (. Pe-destrian movement should be enhanced by regulat-ing traffi c at new arcade intersections (fi g.2.19).
Street Edges and Sidewalks
- The existing system of parallel parking on street edges should remain, but off-street parking should be introduced in new developments where possible (fi g.2.16 and fi g .2.18)- All sidewalks in the precinct should be upgraded
using inclusive design principals so that there will be no sudden level differences along the routes. The sidewalks should be a minimum of 3m wide. Green structure that includes trees and planters should be introduces along new and existing pedestrian routes (fi g.2.20).- Street furniture that includes dustbins, benches and lighting should be provided along pedestrian routes. The street lighting provided should be on a pedestrian scale where possible (fi g.2.20).- Sidewalks should be covered by canopies that protrude a minimum of 1.5m out of the building facades (fi g.2.20).- Different textures can be introduced to defi ne dif-ferent spaces along the sidewalks (fi g.2.20).
- Excessive signage along pedestrian routes should be introduced for information and orientation pur-poses, including educational information (fi g.2.20).
Buildings
- All new development should respond to, or try to enhance the existing, as well as proposed educa-tional infrastructure.- The ground fl oor of buildings should be used for retail purposes.- Buildings placed adjacent to one another should form continuous street facades, but the corners at traffi c intersections should step back to provide a better visual line of movement and create spaces for
fi g.2.13. Urban Analysis of Existing Precinct fi g.2.14. Urban Framework Proposal for Precinct
vendors and pedestrians to reside.- All buildings should be built to a minimum height of 3-stories. Buildings lower than 6-stories may have a fl ush facade, but anything higher that should step back a minimum distance of 1.5m from the 4th fl oor upward (fi g.2.15).- Courtyard building typologies are encouraged.
An upgrade of the Caledonian Sports Grounds is proposed. The facility should become a semi-public venue for recreation purposes and allow educational institutions to gain access to it on an organized manner.
