PREFACE / ABSTRACT SUMMARY
This paper will be discoursing the undermentioned subject of how to change over derelict edifices in the Pretoria CBD into partly sustainable commentaries for the homeless. This papers will work as its proposal.

INTRODUCTION.
In the last 20 old ages the figure of abandoned and fresh edifices in Pretoria CBD have gone up significantly, along with the figure of stateless people found in the country. Based on the available information and statistics on the figure of fresh or abandoned edifices ; every bit good as the figure of stateless citizens found in the Pretoria CBD. ( News, 2012 )
The research paper therefor will take to turn out that by doing alterations to these edifices both of these above mentioned issues can be resolved in an economical and advanced manner.
1. Subject.
This paper revolves around the subject of reapplying, recycling and revamping old abandoned rundown edifices to make new functional and useable infinite.
2. Undertaking BACK GROUND.
Form the beginning of clip shelter has been one of humanistic disciplines primary demands. Since so the human race has progressed a astonishing sum in both scientific discipline and engineering, but still seem to fight with this cardinal demand. As a consequence homelessness has become a outstanding job around the universe. Other states have come to gain that this job deserves a solution and yet South Africa or more specifically Pretoria has non yet addressed the issue.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT.
Pretoria has ever been one of the chief Centres of South Africa’s work force yet it holds one of the highest figure of fresh edifices every bit good as stateless people in the state.
This is dismaying because when looking at the economic growing together with its continues edifice development in and around Pretoria in the last 20 old ages it is difficult to understand why whilst the metropolis grows its homeless seem to be shriveling off along with its fresh edifices. ( Pretoria, 2013 )
In the last 20 old ages concern that used to be located in the Pretoria CBD have moved out to the outskirts of the metropolis every bit good as to the environing residential countries ; go forthing a astonishing sum of fresh edifices behind. It is assumed that because of this many people lost their occupations ; or occupation chances became minimum and as a consequence people could non afford their life styles or any signifier of a life style and so became stateless. This resulted in edifices that used to be considered premier belongings being left to illegal business and decay.
In an article released by the SA Commercial Prop News 19/02/2012.It is said that 20.8 % of the edifices in the Pretoria CBD are empty, fresh or illicitly used. Further research has besides shown that 25 % of the population in the metropoliss are stateless. ( Tshwane, 2015 )
Consequently this paper will therefor discourse how these abandoned and fresh edifices can be converted in to partly sustainable communities for the homeless which will make solutions for both of the above mentioned issues. ( News, 2012 )
4. AIM AND OBJECTIVE.
As seen in the old paragraph it is an obvious cause for concern when looking at the sum of abandoned and fresh edifices in and around the Pretoria CBD. The per centum of stateless people in this country is besides confusing.
There for the purpose and aim of this research paper is to happen and change over these abandoned edifices into partly sustainable communities for the homeless ; where they will be fed, clothed and housed while acquiring preparation in basic accomplishments such as, reading housework, horticulture, cookery, cordial reception and security. This will be done by supplying them with a save environment where they will be given with the necessary preparation and life conditions which will enable them to progress in unrecorded.
To accomplish this an abandoned edifice will be converted in to a suited “compound” where they could acquire all of the above. This will besides decrees the sum of wasted reinforced environments in and around the Pretoria CBD.
5. RESEARCH STATEMENT.
The intent of this paper is to research how derelict edifices in the Pretoria CBD can be converted in to partly sustainable communities for the homeless.
6. Survey DEFINED.
Research will be done on how an abandoned edifice in the Pretoria CBD can be renewed and repurposed through design whilst maintaining the original construction integral to a drape grade.
It is widely believed that merely like you are influenced by the people you surround yourself with merely so the interior infinite you surround yourself with can hold a important influence on you. Therefor this paper will besides discourse how this new design can act upon people in to holding a more positive and optimistic mentality on life.
7. RESEARCH.
The followers will discourse what research will be done for this paper and what the methodological analysis will be to make said research.
7.1 SCOP.
The research that will be done for this paper can be divided in to 4 classs viz. , how did it come to be that there are so many abandoned and fresh edifices in the Pretoria CBD, how can one redesign and change over these edifices into renewed functional environments, why did the per centum of homeless people rise in the last 20 old ages, how and why does an interior infinite influence a person’s physiological mentality on life, and in conclusion how can these two jobs be solved by one solution.
The followers will be researched under each of the above mentioned classs.
- History.
- Influencing elements.
- Definitions of nomenclature.
- Similar cases in other states.
7.2 Types of research that will be done.
For this research paper it is thought that the best methods of research will be interviews, questionnaires, instance surveies, research on written plants every bit good observation in the field.
8. Design.
For the design of the concluding undertaking an abandonde edifice in the Pretoria CBD will be chosen. Because this edifice will be used as a save oasis or compound for the homeless, where they will be given a opportunity to larn practcal accomplishments in the hopes of fall ining the work force, the edifice will hold to be modified and designd acording to the accomplishments that will be taught. Besides the edifice will be partually sustainable in the sense that it will be designd to provide for the homless in the ways of nutrient ( vegdable garden ) and so forth.
This edifice will be redisigned utilizing the design elemants every bit good as the knowlage that has been gather through the reasearch paper. The edifice will be designd in such a manner that it will make a positive outrlook on life for its resadints.
The edifice itself will be modefied and made practical and functional for its utilizations, which are sheltering, educating and toa surtian digree feedng the homeless. As of yet the edifice has non yet been chosen so the sum that the edifice will be providing for is ill-defined at presant. It sould besides be known that the edifice will non be a topographic point where permanat life will be provided but will instead funvtion as a type of halfway hous for the homless.
