Cave Bureau proposes "a new kind of infrastructure for the first inhabitants of the city"
Maasai people could once again legally herd their cattle through Nairobi via Cow Corridors proposed by Cave Bureau in this manifesto prepared for the Dezeen 15 digital festival.
"We imagine a new kind of infrastructure we call Cow Corridors for the first inhabitants of the city," write Kabage Karanja and Stella Mutegi of the Kenyan architecture studio.
"This is a time where the Maasai citizens of Nairobi will no longer be arrested for bringing their cattle to graze in their ancestral lands, a remnant of past colonial laws of the county government."
The proposal is part of a manifesto that aims to redress colonial and imperial injustices in Kenya, which was colonised by the British in 1895 and became independent in 1963.
The Dezeen 15 festival features 15 manifestos presenting ideas that can change the world over the next 15 years. Each contributor will also take part in a live video interview. See the line-up of contributors here and watch Cave Bureau present their manifesto in a live video interview on Dezeen later today.
