Built Prototype at the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal.

SLEEP
SHOP

CIRCULATION
A competition held by the Afrika Museum (Berg en Dal)
and African Architecture Matters (Utrecht) to demonstrate
planning ideas for future Africa.
Using Kumasi, Ghana as the location, the idea was to design
a systematic structure to enhance the rising existence of
make-shift structures used for multiple purposes.
Research: These structures can be temporary or permanent
structures. They can be used mainly as a point of sale, but
also as a home; a place to sleep, live, store and serve as an
identity.
