VISITED SITES:

GSA-Unit 14 UJ act 3. part 3 project IVORY PARK IMMERSION
INVESTIGATIONS AND UNDERSTANDING IVORY PARK:
The Act 3 part III was a group of 5. as a group we have to investigate and understand levels on agencies forming part in the enterprises and economical activities in Ivory park on the August drive, spacial enterprises and how the area functions in Ivory park in general. The diagram above is the area were investigations happened from the beginning of August drive right through to 29th drive
As a group studying Ivory park as a settlement my task was to find out what it looked like before independence and after pre post independence 1994, the current reflection of economical activities and a future prediction of how it will look like in 30 years . the diagram above shows that Ivory park started in 1990 as farm land with few traditional huts and few gravel roads.
3rd image is a reflection of the current condition in Ivory park. August drive is populated with street traders and self made manufacturers on both street edges.
The 4th image is the prediction of August drive in 30 years to come. cording to 12 interviews contacted during the site study people demonstrated that there is growth in August drive every day and business owner indicated that they want to trade and live on the street where the businesses is. The image is exaggerated based on the data and information on how fast the August drive is growing everyday that in 30 years it will probably look like the image above

THE PLACE I CALL HOME: This was a two part project. purpose being to sensitize me to
my own habit (that i am familiar with). Task was to observe, interpret and document it in a manner
that best communicates its value, operation and meaning and show how the space is occupied and
and how it support life.

Image 02
Images chosen are an interpretation of the important areas in my habitat /
Oshiwambo traditional homestead. Taking care of life stock is my daily activities
that forms part of the house. Eg image 01 the milking process that happens every
day morning before cattle allowed for grassing than taken for drinking after
grassing. A process done on a daily routine. Image 02 is an illustration of the two
most important areas within the homestead, the two places I spent most of my
evening watching Tv and chatting to family members before sleep, while other
place is where the guests of the house are received.
