In Kibaha, Tanzania, just west of the capital Dar es Salaam, a group of pioneering architects are set to build a new village with “earth printing” at its heart.
A rendering of the community center for Hope Village, which Hassell says is expected to begin construction in 2025.
Hope Village is more ambitious, according to Mark Loughnan, principal and head of design at Hassell.
For Dr. Consola Elia, who will oversee the children’s home at Hope Village, the project is “the reality of a dream that I’ve had for over 20 years,” she said in a statement.
Work on the masterplan has begun, with housing already underway and construction of the community center expected to begin in early 2025.
