Welcome to the blog of the architecture students of Eduardo Mundlane university of Maputo, Boukunde University of Pretoria and the architecture faculty of the TU-Delft in The Netherlands.

This blog is a joint venture organized around the graduation project to Revitalize the Baixa de Maputo.

The Baixa is the oldest part of Maputo and is under current threat of new insensitive development. The old buildings are diminishing and the area is losing its historic identity.

The combination of the three universities is a unique way to create a dialogue between different countries and their ways of working.

The driving force behind the realisation of this studio has been and still is the organization "African Architecture Matters". See the link in the menu below.

Our Mozambique table!

Hi everyone, a little image below to show you our studio space (with flag!). Concerning the working together, it might be a good idea to start off with everyone shortly summarizing what they've been doing the past week, and sending it by email to the rest.

By the way, don't forget to sign yourself in at the blog, so that you can post your own messages. I'll try to send everyone an email inviting you to the blog.

Keep your inbox posted!

Cheers

    Dear Deutsch Guys!

    That Studio wt our flag on top put us on real FIRE!

    Excuse me, Is that not Micha guy Schud? Man, you look diferent.

    So, whats on? What are you doing now?

    We are doing the land planning to Baixa, we are collecting information about Baixa, so we can create the "constraints" maps, which contains the elements that will guide all the drawing and regularization process to Baixa.

    So, If you need more info, let us know.

    Cheers!

    Hey guys,
    hoping to be able to uplaod some of our framework stuff next week, would be cool to get some input as to what you think. (I have no idea how to do this as I am a technology retard, but will ask Jacqui :)) will get the ppl here to load some of their conceptual stuff too, we have a hand in on tues so after that I am sure we can start being more useful :)

    would be cool to see any of the urban stuff the Maputo peeps are busy with.
