BMH RENOVATION Inspiration
Strategies
As a young man I was given the opportunity to spend time on three continents, in both their urban and rural fabrics and was therefore allowed to assimilate and appreciate most of their contrasts, similarities and potentialities in relation with their social and cultural settings as well as their physical particularities.
After an initial phase of research and Design work in Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo, it became apparent that in order for us to provide a significant contribution to the built environment in Africa, the traditional Designer/ Client relationship had to be revised to adapt to the real need for a thorough process from conception to construction, without the aesthetic deficiencies and lack of vision of that has resulted from a very devalued sense of cultural identity and standing within the nations in a “global” world.
At this point of my development as a designer and a construction professional, I believe the built environment has once again reached a threshold in its possibilities and it is our responsibility to make conscious decisions about the directions to take and the precedent we need to establish for the benefit of our profession(s) and more importantly for our clients and fellow users of the different “subjects” we imagine and come to realize.
It is, all debatable, so please feel free to comment and object if necessary, in a constructive manner. Paul Bomambula Bongoy
Objectives Africa in general is a source of permanent attention and of special interest in my eyes not only because of the very obsolescence of its infrastructures, but also because I have witnessed the dangerous lack of respect for aesthetic values and for the will to develop an appropriate design sensitivity to a fast changing set of communities. We will address the many issues of urban planning, construction standards and cultural characteristics of our communities.
