The 2017 Architecture Sans Frontiere’s Change by Design programme took place in Cape Town in support of the Development Action Group (DAG)’s work with their Active Citizens Programme on 3 specific sites: Kensington, Khayalitsha and Oude Moulen. 1to1 was brought on as a project partner to support in the studio facilitation and methodology support.


The workshop’s goals were to support grassroots movements with strategic tools in action-research, spatial enumeration and strategy building across the grassroots members stakeholder and beneficiary groups. The workshop ran for 2 weeks and employed an iterative action research methodology to support the unique needs of each site with the workshop participants and DAG.
