From Natural Composition to AI to Architecture?

When I was in my first year in Architecture school, I remember It was so common for me to gather natural elements ranging from palm fronts, sticks, and fruits, to anything I could find around me, and group them in any order to form a composition. I would sit there and sketch that composition repeatedly until one of the sketches revealed what I had in mind. This particular skill was spurred by one of my professors, Architect Mfoumyoum Ndi Alexis. He is a great master.

I believe sketching is a very powerful tool that an Architect should possess. Non-living compositions have always been one of my strong concept-generating themes.

From a non-living composition of toilet paper, we can generate concepts for huge architectural projects such as the concepts in the images below. I believe this is where the power of Generative AI is. I had to explore AI myself to be able to accept it. One thing is for sure, Generative AI is here to stay.

Introducing the Museum of Contemporary African Architecture, MuCAA, where the architectural wonders of Africa are celebrated with a unique twist. Our inspiration? The iconic African calabash - a symbol of culture, artistry, and sustainability. 🌿

has been on a mission to inculcate African moeurs and traditions into architecture. It doesn't only have to be about the buildings looking like ancient African Structures, it goes a long way.

African Arts, Sculpture, Painting, Materiality, Music, and Fashion must seamlessly blend in such a way that we do not have to distinguish between these arts fields, but come to understand that they all partake in our identity and way of life.

Embracing the Beat of Tradition: The African Talking Drum

In the heart of Africa, the Talking Drum was more than just an instrument; it was a language, a call to gather, a rhythm that echoed through generations. 🌍

Today, I draw inspiration from its rich heritage as I design a community center that honors this ancient tradition. The spirit of unity, the heartbeat of the community, still resonates in every beat of the drum. 🏛️

Join me in celebrating the power of culture, and let's create a space where the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with the dreams of the future! 🙌✨

This project is a gateway to the future of African Architecture. We have embraced the modern style, and adapted our local techniques to today's fast-growing and innovative system, all while keeping our authenticity, culture, and context.

Afro-futurism is as much a style as the others which have come and gone. Today we strive to create and leave an impact for future generations.
