Welcome!

Welcome to my research blog. This blog documents a month long journey through South Africa exploring the importance of architecture in the healing process for individuals and communities impacted by the AIDS epidemic. Please browse through my experiences that I had exploring the diversity of community building and architecture as a social act.

Design rendering of new Home Based Care Center in the Umlazi Township

This research has culminated in the design of a home based care center for Zimisele - a community based organization in the Umlazi township of Durban. The design will be used as a tool to help Zimisele fundraise for some of their community programs and the construction of their future center.
