dc.description.abstractThis dissertation comprises five chapters. The first chapter explores issues of housing and density. Case studies are used to examine the relationship between agency and housing as well as the trade-offs of efficiency of circulation systems in dense housing. The second chapter locates the research within the context of Delft South and, more specifically, along the main road. The idea of "Home as Economic Generator" is explored through studying housing and retail patterns. The third chapter moves towards a design outcome by choosing and analysing Sibanye Square as a site within Delft. Chapter four explores a variety of technical considerations that could develop into an architectural language by studying how people are currently building in Delft. Finally, chapter five proposes an architectural outcome that explores three typologically different housing developments located on and around Sibanye Square.en_ZA
