The two proposals are set in two locations: the Windhoek City Municipality Square and the Freedom Square, both situated in the city center and surrounded by hotels, restaurants, shops and office buildings.
The Windhoek Municipality Square proposal is set around the monolithic U-shaped building, which was initially designed this way to accommodate outdoor events, although it has rarely ever been used. Here the fashion shows can make use of the various spaces, such as the winding steps, the four strategically placed trees or the space directly beneath the U-shaped building, for kiosks, "red carpets" or runways.
The second proposal is on Freedom Square, which is sandwiched by cafés on one side and office buildings on the other. The area becomes busy with people during the day and night; these kinds of activities can surely create an atmosphere which doesn’t seem strictly regulated but instead more spontaneous. The space also comes with existing urban furniture and some vegetation, so it doesn't require so much enhancement.
