Architecture and peoples

I focus on reforming architecture éducation in Africa while mobilizing colonial architecture

I am currently engaged in the preparation of project documentation for the construction of residential and commercial buildings. Since my education is also in the field of urban planning, in the future I would like to expand my work to the field of synthesis of the object and its immediate and wider environment.

Focused on the very essence of inclusion and accessibility of urban fabrics to people all ages, colours, abilities and gender. Focused on the colourful architectural prospect which manifests itself over the face of our cities through accessible and inclusive design.
