AFRICAN HERITAGE + MODERN ARCHITECTURE. I’ve seen secondhand the impact of incorporating traditional techniques and materials into contemporary design. There's an undeniable charm and wisdom in drawing design inspiration from our culture in the design of our urban environment and spaces. Technological advancements and globalization with all its benefits, carry a strong inclination to overshadow traditional values. Afrocentric design and architecture isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about sustainability, community, and cultural heritage. We can integrate these timeless principles into a language of modern African architecture. AFROCENTRICISM IN ARCHITECTURE!!! that's what this is called. #Africa #SustainableArchitecture #CulturalHeritage #ArchitecturalDesign #TraditionalTechniques #LocalMaterials #architect #SustainablePractices #ArchitectureCommunity Credits: ParametricArchitecture Pinterest Page

An insightful article with historical overview stressing the need to reawaken #MeskelSquare, written by Rahel Shawl, is now published in The Architectural Review in the #Revisit section. "It is crucial that free and equal access to this #urbanspace is not hindered in any way, to bring back much‑needed vibrancy, life and colour. In a city in dire need of freely accessible #publicspace, #MeskelSquare should not sit silently but be activated so it can continue to be the dynamic space it has historically been in the heart of #AddisAbeba, the capital of #Africa." https://lnkd.in/e2yvUuSd

A Conversation Long Overdue: Silbury Hill and the Art of Grounding Ideas René Magritte’s The Art of Conversation is a surreal masterpiece that captures the intangible essence of dialogue. But what happens when those suspended conversations are given a staircase to descend—when we ground floating ideas in a shared space? This reinterpretation integrates a staircase leading to the summit of Silbury Hill, a Neolithic monument steeped in mystery and alignment. It transforms a conceptual void into a tangible connection, situating the two bowler-hatted figures in a dialogue that now belongs to the landscape. The staircase proposes a bridge between the old and the new, between conversation and resolution, much like architecture does. As architects, aren’t we always anchoring ideas that once floated abstractly in the clouds? Perhaps this reimagining speaks to more than Silbury Hill. It speaks to our role in making the cosmic accessible—grounding history, innovation, and vision in spaces that we can all inhabit. What’s your take on the role of surrealism and grounded interventions in architecture today? Let’s spark a conversation. #Architecture #ArtAndDesign #Magritte #SilburyHill #ConceptualDesign #HistoryMeetsFuture

TAMY - Taller de Arquitectura Moderna de Yucatán I had the honor of co-coordinating, alongside Architect Henry Ponce, an academic project with architecture and design students focused on Colonia México, one of Mérida, Yucatán's most iconic neighborhoods, which holds valuable examples of modern architecture. Through critical analysis and innovative proposals, we explored how to rethink respectful and creative interventions in an area rich in history and cultural significance. The main goal was to revalue modern architectural heritage, integrating it into the current urban dynamics while highlighting its cultural identity. From interpreting the historical and aesthetic values of these spaces to conceptualizing contemporary design strategies, the students displayed remarkable commitment and sensitivity to the context. This experience highlights the importance of connecting academia and heritage preservation, fostering an ongoing dialogue between the past and the future. 🌿 💡 How can we continue creating meaningful impact in valuing our cities and their architectural memory? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! #ModernArchitecture #CulturalHeritage #UrbanDesign #InnovationAndContext #AcademicCollaboration
