I am pretty clear what architecture means to me, and after 50 years of being in this profession on three continents, I will not change my mind. There are great architects out there, and I just hope they see clearly the development of our profession. It is not about YOU anymore, it is about the survival of our planet. Please take this seriously!

Architecture is an emotional experience.

When artificial intelligence is used to build superstructures, then the human input can only be done by designers with great imagination and vision. High-Tech is terrific if it is applied to social benefit. We forget so quickly that everything we make, including artificial intelligence, comes from the raw materials of this planet.

I can see that people are fascinated by monstrous shiny skyscrapers, but the reality is, that this is nothing more than modern human anthills. Who wants to live there with thousands of others?

We should integrate the beauty of Nature harmoniously into our architecture. The grand design of Nature (mountains, valleys, meadows, lakes, streams, oceans shores) gives us enough inspiration to follow the idea to compliment Nature, instead of destroying it.

He published in various magazines, including trans (ETH), blank (Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien) and FuZine (Ljubljana Biennial of Design), and exhibited at USI Mendrisio as well as the Museum für Gestaltung, Zurich.

Hospitality, sustainability, development 

My architectural approach is oriented in the structuring of the form.

I am an architectural designer at BuildX Studio, a lecturer(TF) at the University of Nairobi and an Aspen 2020 fellow. I practice, teach and conduct research on architectural design innovation to bring sustainable economic, social and environmental development to Kenya and beyond.  Most recently I was the Kenyan lead researcher for the 2020 Guggenheim-NY exhibition with Rem Koolhaas, OMA, and the Harvard GSD.  

My architectural focus is born from the sensations generated by a space. Whether open or closed, the interior and exterior factors are ordered and controlled by the design generating a particular atmosphere. The architecture must transmit something, and that something is decided by the architect, when it is relevant and well executed it becomes a great design.
