By a new breed of architects that puts people before i turn. On the texts using the tools of their trade to restructure the surround. And to redefine. The letters. To me. Ive spent a large part of my career developing an expertise on high profile large scale projects museums Corporate Headquarters for International Organization skyscraper. In my belief is that in developing africa we need to find solutions that can be developed by the grassroots through the grassroots and that she has the same level of significance as we have on the sort of high end projects. Is a very extreme and powerful example auburn isolation in africa its a community that has almost no roots in the conventional sense no one lands no more of the structure yet theyve been able to develop such a huge. Community building its. Restaurants. Stores. The news of fish you know the trades they have a very scum plate social structure all almost out of what one would imagine in the conventional sense. For me it represents a condition of his maximum. Minimum means. I. Guess i. Wasnt my fault. By the upper right side. By. Side on the. Chance attorneys for design in the Business School and. I wish we got home to the goal of these things we are also opening to private on the giving to the government the government to come to this committee. But. The concept of me go to school came from the community i. Was simply trying to solve very basic problems that i experience those issues where issues of flooding difficulty in building large structures within very marshy muddy soil under the ground. Its built on a base floating on about two hundred fifty barrels it allows the building to rise and fall with changing tides to. The ground level is used as a playground for. Kids school hours and space or cultural events for the rest of the community after hours out on the weekends. The middle section is very badly for the students classrooms. And so its a multicultural multifunctional building. Quite a bit of repair work. There tie a ceiling has a sort of generator what happens to all these lights i dont know why this is so so so so work and also what i think we need to do is take outs just replace this very very just take this out completely. Was on the list also placed. Was. Very. Good. Good. They were days away again really is naming going to conditionally that. Weve been with a four legged cup around the problem we also want to get along together well from the federal government i dont know what do the my i come there is where the my whats your ear. Him do say in the news that the beauty is an integral structure. On the. One missing in my you know without a doubt going to come on tony down you know were going to know because. They come to an underage. Girls last one of you know when youre going to demolish or how does you. Simply throw out the kids given to come and see your commute to about the three houses. Without the permission without them to show nothing nothing. I think no one is a mind. There are hundreds and if not thousands of. All over africa. We cannot simply be displaced this population i think its important to think about how soon in fact develop them how to create enabling environments for them to thrive soon prove the sanitation conditions to provide the infrastructure to provide schools hospitals to make it a healthy place. The greater good city is an elite trying to reshape. The. Law so. I am back on the house then vote now so. I say they give those thank you law so far is that god. Said and there goes a demagogue some plants or is that our own land. Where you are. Is it is less a they are now what that before. Now amplified them comes on the official people. Become kind of this money. Goes to a new as is it is then deep deep inside. On the are now money that they can buy oh yeah my little. Cotton. This place makes is a magnet and im not going to bang yeah my mind about this thing. And yet she kind of has that we. Do want to do but dont think we have to bottom out we did was the place you want to take me out of my list you wouldnt do it would just be what exactly what i will not do all fronts this is that democracy is not electronic there you have to decide if i make it thats what the movie just thinks. Im the governance face impressions of open isolation and developments and communities like this that out on the privileged and have no infrastructure. One of the first affected because the governments wants change. The. Historical women see its its double the was put there to your mind about what did the government just did stamp as you just said if i dont have a piece doc to come just back a week that was why we would launch them to come think on their own lives but i think were moving to we dont sing we dont care when. It was on we are we are going into government not totally we want you to come but you know we want Development Development its about the phone rights so when we are not a question for which in the government. But not for the notes for it because you know not enough if we have to move. So if we have Something Like this for for all the communities we mark each house where we need water where we need training age where we need where we need school where we need clinic but also the history of this place we can also tell the stories of the communities very happy that was here today i want to see him to be put into it is. What it probably stood out to me to come out to. Stand on this man thank you thank you very much thank you michael. Pleasure. If were able to demonstrate that within such communities you can actually create change through themselves with themselves with their own assets with their own resources and we may also be able to change perceptions in a positive way. The water is out now. But when the water is in this is actually quite lovely. And when we first started we used to look at this day when we decided we were going to build a Community Media center and we used to joke about having a screen floating and i saw one day in a magazine an image of this Floating School which had been built in. And i thought that this jetty and this by and what were trying to do. My my be. Already there there its very very very very. Good thats good. Is the fact. That. We had several questions about where the committee would like the building to be located and due to the historic interests of the community as a fission community. And perhaps just out of their own aspiration what the imagine their future to be the consensus was that they wanted something both from london. So that definitely influence a concept as you see it like bastards and so on them to be a structure thats dark. Tidal condition changes goes sort of up and down almost two times a day and what weve done is that this sort of very delicate end of the. Project of the structure has a flirtation platform im not floating platform goes up and down. Would be presenting to the community this is one of many presentations that weve given the past months in this process and its its again another form of Community Engagement to assure the development of the projects and. To also get feedback its an ongoing process on. The milling is in the alignment with this jets and it will come up like that. Its ten meters wide very big so i would say the end of its probably would reach somewhere around carefully. To the end of its wood roots even somewhere here so this is the part of the vision that we believe that you will you have the water from coming to shoot embrace that it is not about reclaiming more land every time but it is about using you know what are frogs for aadhar equational activities and if you will flee you teach a place where you can walk around you can do things and see what completes whats out from this area once you enjoyed it. This is. The. Most money. And. This is. The i deserve it as you say that this take this is the case of the day for the way this takes you to slip. Out of the cliff and i think that the last thing to do i think if i was going to make the flow. From indeed look of destruction i believe when its going to school to be a very beautiful sites for what i want to ask if we get big if theres a chance for a compact what if ive got a good look. Because im coming from different data should somebody go see before if theres like a. Good artist like not. Just going to ten year olds. I think its going to be nobody was going to settle. For discussion. The idea is that how can we now design that platform at the same time address the concerns of safety you know address concerns of use small c functional use the word industry would you put your mind. In that mode that we very big. That they will move to these platforms with. Inductees yeah. Ok you understand me. Well doing anything. That comes ok so youre going to find out the height of the things were. Ok so you quite need to because this is now years was witty we should not be afraid of taking responsibility because this is the big project. In terms of maintaining the system should also be considered also this is going to be built with wood thats the idea and. I dont know some of you that know there are lots of. Hardware and would in fact would do that performs of them better. The more it gets wet i wonder what is the one thing thats not so you know for the introduction of this into this community has a huge amount of intellectual capital and i see that and and i think for the first time the well get an opportunity to compose that into a physical structure move themselves into sort of a new era of change. By the time we need to have a really clear concrete sense of how were going to proceed from these foreign stages of Design Development because we still go. Quite a lot of design. Detail into the into technical design and construction so. Markers and. Robots so im very curious about what your thoughts about this point to connect this with this sort of mass spoke with the real drug culture that is reinforced so the thing that we can actually support the troops over of this sort of structurally on top of this for me to look at the pilots thats going to theyre not really down pittsburgh kept on top of the piles and then they have this. Its like its now twenty twenty two years old. This strong but now were never going to put in talk to this before i see just. Seen the design i played where i prepared for more on from this year. What is the law just section of came back like its the deepest that you can get for all along that we all do mine mine mine it may seem is the longest youre going to get along as you see all day long and. Because you didnt kill in the pilot and theres of course so much to modernize and that with me so once you complete is on site you have been a do as much processing kind of minds and minds then bring in that kind of equipment just like in the first instance the building joe miter needs to be a bit more we still dont really see visually satisfied with whats going on now just rely structure and said you take your mind the case that we designed for you know the media the last time you know what he says two years sunday you probably get through the last time doing it i dont know. Well examine what it is yeah we are beginning to see a lot of storms and sadness is a project that is in and sufficient of the changing climate for. Sure. But i could. Feel. Relieved when i am really although to be here and. Happy to be able to be part of what i think is going to be a great thing this is where the whole world becoming to to be chose and hopefully it will be and i will be an Iconic Police density for the whole Community Watch out for a community of books i felt. Thank you. We are people not trying to use our voice the our guys ishaan to resist the wrong policies because the on this mob. We are led to present it on this mountain but in the governments mob we are not down all these it out we ask the state is green meaning people dons leave that is why you see want to knock out those people leave yeah. My work embodies. You know at least three important values war one is that it solves a problem. Too is that it is connected to earth and its environment and three is that. Its transformative. By itself all of its environments and its people so this is where i see you hopefully should come through in this project that were able to bring all of these things together.
