Miliswa (b. 1993 Durban ) is an architecture practitioner and researcher who co - founded the architecture collective room19isaFactory in 2022 . She approaches architecture as the practice of manifesting the fantasy of persons/people through space - making. Her interests lie in dismantling the continued construction and preservation of spatio - political utopias, through worldbuilding techniques such as Saidiya Hartman ’ s critical fabulation. Through child - play - as - analogue - modelling , she proposes ways of both mapping site and projecting alternate realities onto site at various scales. She holds a Master of Architecture (2021) and a Bachelor of Architecture Honours (2020) from the Graduate School of Architecture (GSA) at the University of Johannesburg .
