Unformal African architectures by Kuukuwa Manful (SOAS)

The talk looks at the unformal architecture that is developing on a daily basis and proposes to learn from the agility of marginalised urban dwellers. The one-day conference “Materials and value chains for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urbanisation in Africa” gathered high-level international experts from materials, architecture and sciences to discuss sustainable materials solutions, urban concepts and challenges, as well as circular concepts, all discussed along with the respective global implications.
