Jury

Museum exhibition designer at wHY New York.

I am an impact design enthusiast passionate about a more equitable and just Africa. A firm believer in the potential and power of design processes and products to promote economic stimuli especially in under-served communities.

An alumnus of the African Design Centre in Kigali, a fellowship program by MASS Design Group that trains and empowers the youth to become creative design leaders, am currently working as a Designer at BuildX Studio that envisions a world made for people and planet by creating the buildings of a radically better tomorrow.

Green Architecture is emerging now. My focus is on green and eco friendly design and development.

Modern architecture projects in a historic urban environment

I believe architecture organizes the socio-economic activities of all human beings irrespective of their gender, class, race and income levels. Well-designed built environment provides healthy, safe and inclusive spaces to its users.

Working to serve communities who can benefit the most from thoughtful and efficient research + design yet have the least access to it. Through my work, which includes small scale experimental projects and public space installations, I advocate for spatial justice in the pursuit of inclusive and resilient cities and communities.

stress on social context and sustainability

Architecture design, landscape design.

architecture of place, architecture of context,

architecture of absence as creating architecture invisible / little visible in space (emptiness in architecture)

My work as an architect-researcher focuses on design and non-design solutions for low-income settlements in sub-Sahara Africa. 

One of the forty most influential architects in the region as per Middle East Architect and Architectural Digest

I think a good design whether its an architectural or urban planning scale all the way down to product design, the underlying principle is to make things better for people. I think the motive should be to use design to enable people to live better lifes, to get more out of everything. Its a goal quite often can be lost in architectural design and for this one must under the human conditions cultural differences around the world, the climatic sitiations that people are in and more and more its about trying to embrace all aspects of health. So I think in all aspects if you allow yourself to think about health, think about the wellbeing of the people we are designing for - it can finally lead us into some interesting and new strategies for where technology should go. There is a responsibility to think about people in a broader sense. Young people eventually become old people, firm people become infirm. so there is a constant need to think about all at the same time to make the world a happy place to be for all.
