The Safety Shelters initiative responded to requests from the K Stjwetla Patrollers, a volunteer group tackling high crime rates in the settlement. The project reimagined the guard hut, typically an "architecture of fear", as dignified, open, and visible shelters. Two prototypes were co-produced at key hotspots in Stjwetla, built with local artisans, students, and residents using repurposed materials to ensure sustainability and affordability.
