We are creators of world views. Let’s do that.

An African conquering the World

Architecture above Journalism

After a long hiatus we have realised that the worlds problems can indeed be solved by architecture thinking. We have committed to take the lead

Why is it that

We need to figure a way to make language from architecture

Language and Manifesto

A message

Can we find a language for our traditional architecture that encapsulates the spirit of being African? Is this possible? Will anyone dare collaborate to attempt it?

A Language for Africa’s Architecture

We believe that a new architecture is all that stands between humanity and environmental catastrophe in a period of political denialism

Architecture and social Change

Why don’t we experiment on the city anymore?

A new experimentation?

States and politicians have lost power and prestige in our day and this has been mopped by the drivers of economics. So what will the city of our times be? A problem or a tool to solve problems? Happy New Year, we are back.

The State and the City???

Lack of subtlety and nuance, the selfishness in focusing on only itself have led Architecture to a bend where it can no longer produce the visions from which policy and politics can take a cue. It is now a fancy object

Architecture cannot engage the problems of the world anymore?

One part of the earth manipulates structure which is the core of the architecture itself in the other, structure seems to have been decided long before design starts and cannot be manipulated

Why our method of design doesn’t produce modern masterpieces

We must make our work a creator of worlds and views and stop being reactionary

The architect is first a public intellectual that develops world views

Being called to the table is not imperialism is it?

Response to a colleague about the last podcast

Prince Charles Visit to Nigeria and Ghana opens up some questions about Nigerian Architects and architecture in general.

What does it take to be called to the table of development?

Has the Surrender of the plan to make the forms of big buildings been with it?

A compromise?
