The document summarizes three potential sites for architectural interventions in Viana, Angola.
Site 1 is an existing informal market that operates in an open space. It currently has no permanent structures.
Site 2 proposes adding a permanent roof structure to the market that could also include additional programs on the roof level.
Site 3 explores designing an open grid system and roof that would give sellers freedom to build semi-permanent or permanent stalls within, while also providing covered space for the market. Rainwater harvesting and gray water management systems are considered.
This document describes plans for redesigning a wide street between a school and market. The design brings back informal street qualities like shared space and access to gray water. During dry seasons, humidity catchers would supply continuous water, creating a social space for water-related activities. During wet seasons, storm water pockets would collect and buffer overflow, making use of the captured resource. The design aims to reclaim the street through shadow and informal qualities, creating a cooled, flexible shared space connecting the school and market.
Luanda, the capital city of Angola, is experiencing rapid urbanization and population growth. By 2030, Luanda is projected to be one of the four fastest growing cities in Africa, as the continent's urban population increases by 152% between 2000 and 2030. This rapid growth presents both major challenges, like infrastructure gaps and environmental issues, and opportunities to implement innovative solutions. While problems exist, city planners view challenges as opportunities to create clever planning methods and efficient technologies to manage issues like waste and water supply. Rapid urbanization is occurring as people migrate to Luanda for more opportunities, amenities, and safety compared to rural areas devastated by civil war.
This document discusses the potential for fog farming in Luanda, Angola. It notes that Luanda experiences little rainfall for most of the year due to ocean currents, but has high humidity. This creates suitable conditions for an experiment in urban fog farming to harvest water from the humid air. The document proposes integrating fog farming techniques on a large scale in Luanda to replace trucked-in water and harness the city's humidity as a renewable water source.
The document discusses water management interventions in Viana, Angola. It describes how open drainage systems and water collection can turn water problems into resources. Intervention #1 involves creating active drains and stormwater pockets that function as social spaces. Intervention #2 centers around developing water towers as identifying landmarks that purify water and create meeting places. The towers are designed to utilize local materials and reference local trees to encourage skills and identity.
The document describes the divided peri-urban area of Viana in Luanda, Angola. It is physically divided by a highway and railway, and socially divided between informal and formal areas. The project aims to bridge this divide by facilitating accessibility and civic spaces. Viana is developing into a diverse place with urban qualities where the zones meet at the train station. However, the zones remain separated with a lack of connection between the two sides.
A sustainable city integrates housing, work and leisure while preserving history and investing in public transportation. This allows for efficient use of resources and creates a self-building relationship between nature and the city.
This document discusses transportation infrastructure challenges in Luanda, Angola. It notes that road infrastructure has not kept pace with urban growth, leading to traffic jams that can extend travel times between Luanda and Viana to 3 hours. The train is a more reliable option, taking only 30 minutes. Informal minibus systems called "chapas" also provide transportation but could be improved. The document proposes that Luanda explore implementing a bus rapid transit system based on existing chapa networks and culture, as well as continuing to support rail transportation to decrease travel times for goods and people. Spending time in Luanda revealed infrastructure as one of the city's greatest challenges, impacting not only traffic but also access to basic facilities for 80
Poor urban residents in Luanda identified water supply and sanitation as problems requiring assistance, but did not see housing or construction as issues needing help. As architects, we could help address Luanda's water challenges through water sensitive urban design that views stormwater as a resource rather than just a nuisance, and integrates water management into urban planning.
1) The project proposes providing infrastructure instead of housing to the 6 million informal dwellers of rapidly growing Luanda, Angola.
2) A key infrastructure intervention is developing along the railway line from Luanda to facilitate existing settlements and future densification.
3) At the Viana Station area, the project aims to bridge the physical and social divide between formal and informal areas on either side of the railway and highway.
The document summarizes plans for improving infrastructure in the Viana area of Luanda, Angola. It discusses:
1. Conducting a traffic study that found most residents use chapas (collective taxis) rather than private cars.
2. Proposing a bridging structure over the railway and highway to provide safer pedestrian access and create an active public space, including accommodating the existing market.
3. Describing how urban fog farming above existing settlements could utilize open areas to assure basic sustenance through humidity capture and drip irrigation.

The document describes a proposed system for urban fog farming. Nylon mesh humidity catchers would be installed above existing settlements and combined with vegetation. The transpiration from the plants would add extra humidity to the air captured by the nets. A drip irrigation system using locally-made ceramic pots would allow a minimal and constant watering of the plants in an efficient manner. This would facilitate growing crops to provide basic sustenance by taking advantage of unused urban air space.
The document describes a proposed system for urban fog farming. Nylon mesh humidity catchers would be installed above existing settlements and combined with vegetation. The transpiration from the plants would add extra humidity to the air captured by the nets. A drip irrigation system using locally-made ceramic pots would provide a controlled, low level of water to the plants. This approach would make efficient use of available space and humidity while requiring minimal water through a low-cost irrigation method.
The document discusses redesign plans for Shadow Street to make it a more flexible shared space. It proposes bringing back informal street elements and uses, including shared spaces, access to gray water, and spaces for informal activities. This would make the street a more social space where the market can interact with pedestrians. The redesign aims to reclaim the street through increasing shadow coverage and introducing more informal qualities like storm water pockets and humidity harvesting nets.
The document describes 3 potential sites for architectural interventions in Viana, Angola. Site 1 is an existing informal market that operates in an open space without permanent structures. The market serves around 2,500 people currently and will increase to 5,000 people with future development. Site plans and sections are provided showing concepts for adding a permanent roof structure and grid system to provide stalls and organization to the market.
The document describes a water tower that provides fresh water to a local community. It has standardized internal construction for the water tanks and filtration systems that allows for cost-effective mass production. The unique outer skin is locally specific, giving each tower its own identity and creating a sense of place. The space around the tower is designed to be a comfortable civic area providing ventilation, shade, and a place for social gathering.
1. Drainage and water management are major challenges in Luanda, causing problems for urban flow and safety. Open drainage systems can help turn this problem into a resource.
2. An open drainage intervention is proposed, using active drains and storm-water pockets that function differently in dry and rainy seasons. This approach provides spatial qualities, access to water, and turns the drain into a social space.
3. Locally available materials like sandbags, gabon boxes, and sisal plants are proposed to construct drains and control erosion in a way that promotes local production and ecological solutions.
