A critically rationalist approach to ever changing environments, the scheme questions current policies that negatively affect locals with regards to a dam development in a remote area of Lesotho. In so, it proposes a framework in which the various communities affected by the dam can utilize new and existing resources to realign their livelihoods to one that ties in with the development. Within this framework, a hotel/lodge is proposed as an income generating initiative that capitalizes on the new dam and the Maluti Mountains as tourist attractions. === Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. === Architecture === unrestricted
