The concern about this was, who’s responsability to design, the city towards the building or the building towards the city? Therefore we are commited to think about the challenges of socities in terms of developing a building in a city, and the future of the cities depend on our buildings.

Year: Jan 2022
Type: International Competition
Africa
Team members: Felix Trusso Krause, Fernando Ramos, Francisco Pusso, Eiko Vetter, Ignacio Moras. Finalists An innovative and technical solution to construct Ghana farm has been proposed.
