inter-sections on fox

The opening of Inter-sections on Fox

 [ dirk bahmann + jason frenkel ]

at the GoetheonMain  on 4 October2012  18h30

The exhibition runs till the 28^th October 2012

Inter-sections on fox is an exhibition that explores and documents the diverse worlds that converge on the streets of the Maboneng District.  Fox street hosts a multiplicity of users who occupy the public space of the street in a way unlike anywhere else in Jo’burg.  The rules of engagement here are ambivalent and there is therefore a constant re-negotiation of how people interact with each other.  This exhibition traces the movements of the various users from Fox street to their destinations throughout Jo’burg. It examines the emerging culture of urbanity and the intersection of worlds that is a unique phenomenon in the still highly fragmented city of Johannesburg.

recommended scales as per handout 2

produce a map that locates the site within its larger context - 

you need to select the scale, depending on the size of the area you consider important as context

choose a 'full' and comparable scale (1:5000 and not 1:5234)

familiarize yourselves with the provided base map provided 

the provided map should be usable in scale 1:6000 on an 

draw selected street section 1:200

draw selected elevations 1:500, 1:200

complement the provided base map provided 1:2000, 

indicating streets, sidewalks, building outlines open spaces

along the area of investigation: 

the north-south running corridor from the brt station on empire road at, 

past stanley 44/ gasworks via solomon street to the braamfontein train station south of smit street.

use this amended base map in scale 1:2000 and the larger context map 

to illustrate the layers listed under b

then zoom into specific areas and draw plans relating to the street sections in 1:500 and 1:200

or larger scale (1:100 - 1:10) if you need to illustrate details

note that these are recommended scales, 

all work produced has to make sense (and will be evaluated)

in the context you choose to present it in.
