Redesigning AfricaFresh from the Design Indaba, which closed out in Cape Town last week, we have inspiring insights and outtakes to rejuvenate your design thinking across the continent. For a taste of this, Terry Levin speaks to Alex McDowell, the man behind the futuristic scenarios created for Steven Spielberg's award-winning 1999 film Minority Report, about the importance of the tribal space in storytelling. Ann Nurock also sits down with Christian Benimana, architect and programmes manager of MASS Design Group in Rwanda, to find out more about his concept of " building for social change", through building homes for expectant mothers that will reduce maternal mortality.
