@UfsUrban @bonolosehere I’ve read you and my perspective towards life has never been the same. You have allowed me to be okay with being uncomfortable. And I must say, I wouldn’t have it any other way. ‘A good read received as a present from a good friend and mentor.#SiteOfMemory

@UfsUrban Designing with the flesh in mind facilitates how urban environments are experienced, engaged, and navigated through. It is for the flesh design to exist, the relationship between these bodies is inseparable. #desigingwithflesh

[Bonolo Sehere @bonolosehere]

@UfsUrban In an environment so large, surely there is enough room for us all. As greed, prejudice, and personal gain continue to grip the heart of the flesh, ” justice is fairness” are merely utopia words, far of a reach. #socialjustice

[Bonolo Sehere @bonolosehere]

@UfsUrban Social justice interprets the notion of equal and fair distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. It translates that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities. #socialjustice

[Bonolo Sehere @bonolosehere]

@UfsUrban The notion of placemaking and reconfiguring urban environments into fleshes that embody who we are as a body and what we connect to. #urbanaugmentation

@UfsUrban The Iconic colorful Heritage of Bo-Kaap is embedded within the diverse identities established by the native dwellers and the victorious freedom of expression that co-existed within the region. #BoKaap

[Bonolo Sehere @bonolosehere]

@UfsUrban A subjective urban experience to each urban dweller. Developed cities like Johannesburg, embedded with multiple layers of socio-economic dynamics, typology, and spatial arrangements. An environment others introvert from, whilst others come alive too. #urbaneroticim

@UfsUrban Walking the Bloemfontein CBD
As a new urban dweller within the city of Bloemfontein, exploring the CBD exposed numerous embodied moments of realization to the rich flesh of the city and the origins of its people.

@UfsUrban Interconnection of spaces, functions, and networks, harmonious exist to serve, relation and commune with other bodies recognizing that difference and diversity present an exploration of opportunities and further engagements towards inclusivity. #ethicalurbanspace

@GroenewaldAnn
Architecture today should provide new ways of functionality whilst stimulating the minds of those who will pass interact with it. essentially allowing for a new cultural identity.
#urbanaugmentation

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@GroenewaldAnn The body in architecture should question the contemporary relationship between our Human Flesh. Architecture should invite beings to touch, love hate and essentially just be within the zeitgeist of the times.

@GroenewaldAnn Spatial developments should be justified through the appropriate experience there of, essentially enabling the action to improve our cities as a interconnected system.

@NyoniSimba#Bokaap. Happy, flamboyant, expressive, confident, lovely, attractive, stylish, unique are some terms to describe the landscape of Bokaap, yet the dwellers are the most humble people fearing they might loose their spaces to gentrification.

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@NyoniSimba#Woodstock. The feeling and experiences of Woodstock are distinct & unique. One can feel social difference between the remaining dwellers and the new owners taking over through the process of gentrification.

@NyoniSimba#Designing with flesh. Spaces are to complement the human body where the body becomes (part of) the spaces and simultaneously the space becomes the extension of the human body, giving imagination through our entire embodied experience

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@NyoniSimba#Social justice There is a need to understand the being and flesh in relation to spaces; to understand that space is the mediator of the human body& mental state. Qualities of physical space, our behaviour& mental tuning, are interrelated when designing physical spaces

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@NyoniSimba#Urbanaugmentation. Architecture evoke recollections feelings & associations. Its existential & poetic, embodied & emotive. It connect us with the deep historicity of dwelling & they arise from our existential encounters with the world rather than the sense of vision.

@Sarieske1 #Spatialjustice involves sympathy and acceptance of diversity. Democratizing public spaces aims to engage inhabitants through approachable public space. That disperses space in an equitable way, that offer confident places for the public to interconnect diversities.

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@Sarieske1 Redistributive justice creates an understanding of urban inhabitation of social justice that includes spatial, economic, and cultural interest. Recovering public space as an important part of spatial justice that forms part of urban social justice. #Spatialjustice

[UFS urban thoughts @UfsUrban]

@Sarieske1 Tourist influx, has capitalist appeal that is marketable, this can result in gentrification of the inhabitants #Woodstock has historical significance as a community that is diverse and survived through the apartheid era. Essence and story of place can be lost to profit
