A collaborative studio of young architects based in Johannesburg formed by Amina Kaskar, Sarah de Villiers and Sumayya Vally is dedicated to ‘to research-based projects, which take the form of exhibition design, competition work, urban insurgency, and public events’. Their work is focused in deconstructing and reconstructing space and city and encourage inhabitants to think and change perception of Johannesburg with their future ideas.<\/p>\n

Their work often involves a certain sense of activism against the norms of policy and space in south africa\u2018s biggest city, especially in the forgotten and contested areas.<\/p>\n

Here you can watch the video where they explain their project:<\/p>\n
