I think this might be my last post on this blog.

Thesis is done and I am taking some time for myself....

So far...

"Campus Courts: Student Housing as a catalyst for socio-economic and infrastructural development" is coming along slowly but surely.
Will be uploading sketches and schematic analysis shortly

2009

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased and grateful to announce the begin of my final semester in architecture school. This year, I will be graduating in May, by the Grace of the Mahanta.

My thesis is: Student Housing as a source and catalyst for future infrastructural and socio-economic development in a community
Site: Makoko, Lagos...

Watch this space

It is with great sadness that I have to say...

Like many of you, I was under the misinformed impression that the National Theatre Iganmu, was modelled in form after the cap of a military officer; as in, that was the governing power in control at the time of its construction...

yeah look at it...

only to find out that the architects who were Bulgarian by the way simply replicated the design for a preexisting building in their country when the contract was given to them...

This is what you get when you by pass your own people in favour of foreign "expertise"...almost all of our( Nigerian) iconic buildings are done by foreigners...WTH?!!!!!!!

At last

picture from

It was with great relief and very little surprise that i came to the conclusion that a practising architect, I will not make nor desire to be. Yes, I have put myself through five years of gruelling work, head ache, heart ache and every other ache you can possible fathom. I have also gained priceless knowledge on the built environment and the effects of design on individuals, communities, psychologies, economies and policy. I am also committed towards sustainability because it is the only way to go...

Thus, I have begun the race towards my goal: securing myself an entry (but comfortable)position with a property development/investment company upon graduation.

Any suggestions? Connections?

Cranking it all out

The wheels have started turning towards graduation. I need some help though...if not alot of it...

*sigh* this experience needs to change for the better. I feel like I am drowning...
