Digital Preservation of The Ovahimba Architectural Knowledge

The project explores how Indigenous Knowledge around OvaHimba homestead construction can be preserved and shared using immersive technologies. Co-designed with the OvaHimba community in Otjisa, the study focuses on capturing traditional building techniques through 3D modelling and Virtual Reality. The goal is to support intergenerational knowledge transfer by developing a culturally grounded digital experience that reflects the values, materials, and spatial logic of OvaHimba architecture.
