Local Production + HIV Awareness in Lilongwe, Malawi
(RE)Generative Design:   
    (n) The responsibility of architecture or built form following a disaster.

My response to the topic of Regenerative Design is in regards to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa. The country I have chosen to pursue this topic in is Malawi, and more specifically, its capital city, Lilongwe.

Lilongwe is located in the middle of the country between the other two major urban areas, Mzuzu and Blantyre. The site I have chosen is in the old part of the city along the LIlonwgwe River across from the large, Open Air Market.
