AERIAL FUTURES: Lake Victoria Challenge looks at the emergent architectural typology of the droneport — an ancestor of the airport and the petrol station. Yet beyond the facilitation of safe and efficient drone landing and takeoff, could a droneport also provide long-term opportunities for growth and development in East Africa? Droneports may also serve a civic function, featuring fabrication labs and makerspaces, e-commerce facilities, marketplaces, phone charging points and public plazas. These hyper-local spaces will serve the communities around them in unprecedented ways.
