SOCI O - SPAT IA L S Y N T H E SI S Pasted and propped along the banks of the Nairobi River in Kenya’s capital, Kibera’s illegally constructed houses are packed together so densely you can barely see a sliver of the red dirt holding them up. The poorest are forced to build atop the banks of the river, which overflows with a slurry of fast-moving raw sewage and trash that inevitably destroys homes and claims lives during the rainy seasons that occur twice a year. The objective and proposition for this urban project is to alleviate density, create a seamless connection between areas, recnstruct without destroying, deliver needed resources with available resources, and recreate the sense of community.
