Walking through the markets in CBD Durban, looking for pattern wherever it may lie is quite interesting because it forces you to look through the facade of an urban environment. This observing mindset allowed me to see the diversity in the city, with culture, produce or product, infrastructure or architecture, and language, had all that been the only things i had viewed i would have called it paradise. Sadly the overwhelming sites of inefficiency, poverty, bad living conditions and an abundance of pollution were all very clear all over the city.
So if there is anything I have learnt on that tripe besides the selective purchasing of fabric for this design project it is that we have to be conscious about how our society treats people in an environment that is completely unsustainable for life and lifestyle.
