informal settlement branding - wildetecture style


the informal settlements along the N1 highway in cape town are in desperate need of colour. my proposal which keys into my 2007 Erxell concept will give direct payment to an informal home owner. big corporates do a huge amount for communities - how can my little QJD design studio make a difference to families living under these conditions - well one family at a time for starters - the need to improve living conditions in these communities is seriously overdue - the erxell concept proposal is to give residual income to a corrugated iron home owner whilst wrapping his home in paid for by the advertising machine signage. in the process getting advertising to pay for waterproofing the structure. attached is the first side wall branded - Nado Storm cape town comic hero branded informal settlement  home. - these informal settlement structures are temporary and introducing colour to these structures whilst the occupants await there promised RDP homes from the government, will add  an exciting touch to this drab destitute communities current landscape.
