N°10 — collaboration One Fine Day Art Centre

Kibera, Nairobi, KE2024collaboration
§ Project

A not-for-profit cultural centre giving the children of Kibera an artistic home and a break from daily life. We acted in an advisory capacity to the One Fine Day organisation — helping ensure European and GIZ funding requirements were met alongside the lead practice AB Global Architects.

— The Mission

A Place to Make Things

The centre is the result of an unusual collaboration: an international creative team — filmmaker Tom Tykwer, producer Krysteen Savane, and architect Chao Sioworking with community leaders in Kibera to build something that genuinely belongs to the neighbourhood. Our contribution was to bridge the gap between the local brief and the European funding framework, ensuring the building could be realised without compromise.
