Building Reliable Emergency Access in Langa, South Africa

Michela Galazzi and Madeleine Johnson-Harwitz
'25 BFA Industrial Design
A rugged coastline in South Africa with a winding road hugs a steep, rocky hill. Green vegetation covers the foreground, while turquoise ocean waves meet the rocky shore under a clear blue sky, offering easy emergency access along the route.
Two women work together to lift a wheelchair over a small step outside a reliable building in Langa South Africa. One wears a black shirt and the other a blue shirt, both focused on safe emergency access.
