Supervisor: Prof. Peter FERRETTO
TEMPUS
The project, inspired by a field trip to Kenya in December 2022, is about the spirituality of the land at the Maasai area. This place is remote and quiet, with volcanic activities that render the land without vegetation and habitats for centuries. “Tempus”, translating as “a period of time”, is an art therapy museum that seeks to assist local addicts to heal through therapy workshops, exhibitions and self-reflection activities. Its design is one that is submerged in the horizon, aligning with the equator and blending into the land, with an aim to create unique composition of light and shadow within the space.
About the Course
Course: MArch Design Studio - Condition_Open Studio Africa
Africa: Taking risks, working outside your comfort zone, and applying your knowledge to places you know little about enables us to put into practice our knowledge and help people in need.
The studio is interested in developing projects that address education, cultural, and social welfare issues through participation. Working in conjunction with the UN-Habitat Rural Urban Programme based in Nairobi Kenya, students will develop creative and innovative solutions to tackle pressing social, cultural, environmental, health and economic issues through the lens of design.
