Her research is centered on the social aspects of design — architecture as a literal and figural structure of power. In this session, she discusses how African art and design have impacted architectural history, urban history, African American culture, and more.

Part 2: James George

James Inedu-George is an award-winning architect and the design head of HTL, based in Nigeria. His work focuses on the “MegaCity”, and the adaptation and reengineering of global cities for maximal efficiencies using their inherent typologies.
