SAMBURU STORIES EXHIBITION IN NAIROBI

Samburu Stories is curated by students from University College Dublin. It recounts the story of the collaborative experience of building the n’kaji, the vernacular house of the Samburu lowlands of Kenya. By studying the house from a holistic, transdisciplinary perspective, we can better understand the complexities of globally shared challenges and how these impact how we build and live over the coming decades.

WOODLIFE SWEDEN EXHIBITION AT ADD

Woodlife Sweden is an exhibition about wood architecture, construction and design,
but a wider approach to the subject also includes sustainable architecture and
sustainable forestry. We hope the exhibition, through a Swedish perspective, may
inspire and boost interest in the advantages of wood architecture – with the overall
aim to reach the Agenda 2030 goals. Woodlife Sweden Exhibition is being hosted by
the Department of Architecture courtesy of the Swedish Ambassador in Nairobi from
18th to the 22nd October, 2021.
