I'm very proud to share this project made in #Somalia

#Salsabiil is a new restaurant in the heart of #Mogadishu, where tradition and modernity come together.

This architectural design aims to celebrate our ancient and rich Somali cultural traditions.

The African marketplace is a robust ecosystem with women and children at the heart of its functions. @TheGriotIntro and @Mmofra_Ghana share a recent intervention serving the needs of these two overlooked placemakers.

"The urban dweller of the post colonial age goes through life straddling a razor thin line dividing the perceived modern... and our inherent identity"
@madugian waxes poetic on the disconnect between Africa's imported urban ideal and the lived reality.

In Koudougou, Burkina Faso, we completed the Lycée Schorge’s kitchen extension. This new kitchen allows for the students’ lunches to be prepared on site and gives them more space to enjoy their breaks in the shade.

What are some of the priorities you think architects should keep in mind when designing for communities? We discuss with a group of activist architects on Wednesday. Tweet us your thoughts and questions.

Border agents have thrown out 3586 jugs of water left for migrants in the desert.

They did this knowing that 7000 migrants have died attempting to cross.

THIS is why the death of Jackeline Caal, the 7yo migrant who died of thirst in US custody, should be referred to as murder.

The Four Elements of #Goma. The city where all the 4 elements meet (Air, Fire, Earth & Water)... A phoenix rebuilding new life from its own ashes, time and time again... An undefeatable city. A supernatural city if you ask moi... #NorthKivu #Congo
