1) STUDIO THEME OF THE DAY — NEW / NEVER USED
“WATER SOVEREIGNTY COMMONS & SANITATION JUSTICE SYSTEMS”

Community‑Owned Water, Sanitation, Hygiene (WASH) & Blue‑Green Infrastructure for KAMBUF City‑States and the African & Diaspora World

Strategic Mandate:
Water is sovereignty. Sanitation is dignity. Today you design water commons—systems that are locally governed, climate‑resilient, circular, and just. From informal settlement upgrading to city‑region utilities, this studio builds infrastructure that secures life, health, and economic stability for the Nation of KAMBUF.

This source is a *command brief* from the "Water Sovereignty and Sanitation Justice Design Brief" for the *KAMBUF Nation-Building* initiative, dated December 12, 2025. The core theme is designing *community-owned, climate-resilient Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH)* and blue-green infrastructure with a focus on *participatory planning and governance**. A significant portion of the document outlines ten specific design schemes, including projects in cities like Kibera, Lagos, and Dakar, as well as scenarios in the Rural Sahel and the African American South, each detailing the context, challenges, and required deliverables. The overarching mandate emphasizes that **water is sovereignty* and **sanitation is dignity**, demanding that designers act as "systems listeners" to integrate community co-design into every phase of infrastructure development.
