Resistance Through Form | Research
With the rising cost of land and construction, homes have become smaller and denser in composition. As a result, the Sudani family suffers. Gatherings have always been a part of Sudani culture; gatherings for weddings, funerals, the birth of a child, the return of a loved one, and more. As the dwelling decreased in size, the space for gathering was pushed out and away. This proposal seeks to resolve the issues facing the Sudani family in a rapidly growing urban context. Multi-family housing with shared public spaces may potentially abet the housing insecurity of Khartoum whilst cognizant of the social needs of the Sudani home.
