Spatial Design
Veins of the Garub reimagines a Namibian game farm as an ecotourism experience centred on co-existence with desert ecologies. Pathways and shelter points encourage quiet observation and spatial awareness, transforming a once-extractive landscape into a site of reflection and care. Through acts of sheltering and observation, the project reframes tourism as adaptation rather than dominance, inviting visitors to engage respectfully with climate, memory, and the resilience of place.
