'The Beauty of Impermanence: An Architecture of Adaptability.’
Think about architecture and you probably think about tall buildings of steel and glass.
But the theme of this year’s Sharjah Architecture Triennial is design influenced by scarcity – and how we can build in a way that adapts to decreasing resources and hotter climates. Africa has been disproportionately impacted by climate change.
The Triennial is designed as a platform for architects from the global south – allowing them to share ideas on sustainability and reuse.
Africa Daily hears from the curator of the exhibition, Nigerian architect, Tosin Oshinowo – as well from reporter Ijeoma Ndukwe who went to the opening week of the exhibition.
