Redesigning Kariakoo: Scarcity, Creativity and
Transformation of Urban Place in the South
MASTER STUDIO | ONE SEMESTER
Kariakoo is fraught with urban challenges yet
it remains one of the most vibrant cities in
Africa. Using field research as a base, students
were asked to research and address a particu-
lar challenge they discovered in ways that
transformed the site yet preserved the spirit
and vibrancy of Kariakoo.
