Studio Mwenge
Parallel design studio Hasselt University (BE) – Ardhi University (TZ)
spring 2020
Located next to Bagamoyo Road, one of Dar’s main arteries towards the CBD, Mwenge is on the threshold of an extremely rapid urbanization process.
Starting from scenario-thinking, team Mwenge sketches a positive future for this city quarter, crystalized in a series of acupunctural interventions. Highlighting Mwenge’s present qualities, adding new programmes and typologies, students search for an architecture that is connective and creates publicness for all, where projects are regenerative and distributive.
