Worldforming by Ghanaian Women in Architecture

featured in this article on AWARE by Mae-Ling Lokko about how “three generations of Ghanaian women” have used architecture… as an unparalleled incubation platform for worldforming possibilities”

“… a premonition of the impact of these women leaders within the field is captured in a temporary project by Kuukuwa Manful for a school in Madina market, located in a bustling suburb of Accra. Responding to the need for care for the young children of women market vendors in the early hours of the morning before school, a temporary park was assembled by volunteers using a range of upcycled materials and components found in the market including tomato crates, tyres and woven baskets. During its lifetime, the structure was effective as a play space, encouraging children to arrive at school on time, and over time its architecture became attractive to local residents who began to slowly “pick apart” its elements and integrate them into their homes.”
