Incremental Housing: In Research, in Practice, in Building self over time...

GIfA warmly invites you to join us for a thought-provoking presentation exploring the parallel journey between a PhD thesis, completed in 2025, examining the theory of incremental housing, and the personal experience of building a home over time, incrementally.

The presentation will explore the theoretical concepts of incremental housing, with a particular focus on its relevance and importance in emerging nations and the African context.

The speaker will also share personal insights on African Feminist Leadership and her journey of building herself, being a mother, co-building a home, and building her career. Through an honest and vulnerable reflection, she will explore how personal growth, leadership, family, architecture, and the making of a home can intersect and shape one another.
