bridgingMzamba – screening and talk

After more than three years of implementation of the pedestrian bridge over the Mzamba River in Eastern Cape, South Africa, we celebrated the completion of the award-winning self-construction project bridgingMzamba together with partners, supporters and friends in Vienna.

After the screening of the documentary bridgingMZAMBA by Kay Gertler we invited members of the bridgingMzamba project team and guests for a reflective talk.

open discussion on self-building

An open discussion with architects, researchers, artist, builders, students, former homeless and new residents aimed on the creation of a network on potentials, challenges and needs concerning implementation of self-building projects.

All participants exchanging experience and knowledge on designing temporary/permanent strategies and formal/non-formal practice of living spaces.

Located in the student built installation and museum pavilion of 21erHaus and TU Wien the group talked about historical background, role of the city of Vienna, case-studies from abroad, working with refugees and NGO, social legacy, ecological building materials, role of the University and participation of diverse user groups like students, the resource of skilled refugees and experiences of living in self-built structures.

By relating actors, activities and themes in phases of pre-construction, construction and post-construction a first step of balancing different point of views, language and positions could be achieved.
