I really enjoyed this artbabble.
I believe that in efforts to remove young vulnerable children from their present lifestlye and condition, Jair and Gitte incorporated this idea of desiign to improve conditions. Jair and Gitte saw a community, the Umthombo streets of South Africa, that needed assistance and sought to helo these individuals. The children before the design was implanted were faced with the only options of sniffing glue, suffering from HIV, and subjected to a world of violence. Jair and Gitte didnt think their idea of changing these conditions would be effective but found that it would be. They gave these children a new place to call their own. The iconology here was represented in the red mailboxes for personal belongings that would give these children a sense of ownership. This would no doubt make them feel as if they were important and had something of their own besides the violent streets of South Africa. Jair and Gitte put in hammocks that would act as swings and allow people to look beyond what they see and create new meanings for it. By their efforts in making these children of the streets of Africa better, they proved that design definitely has the ability to improve some conditions.
