In Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa, the exploration of bricolage is used to design towards finding a solution to a never ending problem: baboon thieves.  The greenhouse was designed in 24 hours and built in 48 hours through recycled materials like steel cages, chicken wire, zip ties, a concrete foundation, and other materials locally sourced on the vineyard.
