Eskom Lighting Competition

We have been approached to enter a "design effecient light" fittings for the annual competion. this is my entry.




pictures of the prototype will be uploaded shortly
our first exercise was to visit the Green point park, while we were there we should look at the timber structures and take pictures, looking at the connections, technology and the use of different materials.










it was a fun exercise.

its been seven weeks since i started work.
Mr. Jackson and myself have been working on a primary school in Kuilsriver called Balvenie which requires two classrooms including ablutions and a play area.

this project is kinda special (to me) because the school caters for children with special needs in a disadvantaged area.
They really need the rehabilitation or rejuvination so to speak.
Already had a first site visit, mearsuring up is complete.
Now we are looking at precedent and requirement for a special needs school, i.e. ramp, child-freindly ablutions etc.
Its a tall order for a minute brief.
