Abstract:

Paper and presentation address the conference theme Cultivate the Debate through the reflection and examination of the collaborative implementation process of a life-saving suspension bridge in South Africa from multiple perspectives.

The approach is to tell a story that is focused on actors, the process of production, created social space and bridged cultures rather than the built product.

The project bridgingMzamba, located in the global South, serves as an opportunity to enable a collective reflection beyond traditional architectural, engineering or aid practice and representation.

The examination of the trans-disciplinary and cross-cultural implementation process from different perspectives and in diverse media aims at a collective knowledge production and to develop strategies of communication for future exertion of necessary infrastructures when the state, the economy and industry fail.
