Amy Leibbrandt

Amy is deeply interested in household agency, land, affordable housing, and African urbanism. Her experience spans a wide range of housing projects, from affordable and student housing to luxury eco-tourism, and includes working in informal settlements alongside community leaders. She had the opportunity to present her masters, summarized as a paper, at the Open Building for Resilient Cities conference in Los Angeles, December 2018. In November 2019, Amy participated in a short course, Developing Social Housing Projects at the Institute of Housing and Urban studies at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam. This was built on a 318 unit affordable housing project she completed in 2020.
