Jesse Tukacungurwa_Architect (Uganda)
There is a social- cultural erosion going on in our cultures today. It's desperately disappointing and a challenge for Africa. If you look at what we define as sustainable architecture, it’s actually about connecting vernacular architecture with a more modern interpretation. I would love to see the built environment begin to embrace vernacular architecture with a modern twist, not in a copy paste way, but integrating technology with our own cultural heritage to make something that belongs to Uganda and the greater African context.
