ABSTRACT
Malawi is a small country located in the southeast part of the African continent. This essay attempts to express Liminality in Malawi, through an analysis of the ongoing social, cultural, and architectural developments in the country. Being a small country with wide diversity, it acts as a testbed to understand various issues and use them as a baseline for several other developing nations. These analyses can be further utilized to create various formal categories, which fall under the realm of Impact Design.
