Organization: C-re-a.i.d.: -Change
-REsearch -Architecture -Innovation -Design is a Tanzanian registered nonprofit
organisation; which conducts research by design on the possibilities of
architecture. This is accomplished by the different branches of C-re-aid,
including fieldwork, organizing construction, empowering local craftsmen and
receiving students of architecture, interior architecture, engineering, product
design.
C-re-a.i.d. is a
young development organisation based in Northern Tanzania. With architecture
being the professional background of the founder of C-re-aid, the concentration
of the organisation lays on housing in informal settlements. The organisation
is active since 2012 and has conducted several projects in rural areas of
Moshi, Tanzania. The projects are conducted with the assistance of students and
aim to create cooperation between the C-re-aid team, students and
beneficiaries. C-re-aid collaborates on projects with families of various
backgrounds, social relations and material possessions. However, the crucial
similarity is that all the families received assistance from C-re-aid to make a
specific material change. Thus, while the projects themselves are different,
their common baseline is the research to the reception of a material change.
