The Red Location Museum Part 1

I took this picture from one of the archive spaces in The Red Location Museum in New Brighton. It was my first experience in the museum where i full understood the depth of South African History. The Red Location Museum is an apartheid museum in New Brighton township, designed by architect Jo Noero. For some reason, this picture is one of many that inspires me on our new design project in Walmer/Gqebera township.

Water Harversting : The Green Way

This water harvesting mechanism is called 'fog collection'.
Fog collection is the collection of water from fog which may be stored for further usage. Fog collection is carried out using a fog fence or fog collector which collects the liquid water from the fog. A fog fence or collector consists of a fine mesh or array of parrelel wires upon which the water droplets are deposited. This method has all sorts of advantages and the main one being there is no external use of energy source to performthis water collection process.
