SEBASTIAN HITCHCOCK UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN
The Hindle Road Park project is an imagination of an avant-garde approach toward housing in the township of Delft in the Western Cape . Here the design process envisions an improved well-being for residents and visitors by questioning the processes which make up Delft ’ s existing conditions of ‘ home ’.
Hitchcock ’ s thesis , entitled ‘ Diversifying Delft ’ s Rental Offering ’, focuses on the complex topic of habitation . Housing is imagined through the experience of local tenants , owners and developers . Hindle Road Park aims to sustain these narratives and interrogate the diversity of collective , tenancy and building when organised around alternative yards , units and streets .
