INTRODUCTION

When it comes to architecture competitions that have African contexts, we believe there are not enough competitions that engage the architectural potential and urban fabric of African cities. We as a foundation wanted to create an architecture competition that brings attention to our home city, Lagos, while also bringing attention to the issues low-income communities face. The purpose of this competition is to engage the creativity of young architects with Lagos (Nigeria) being the context.

OBJECTIVE

Imagine a reality for the city of Lagos on water. Whether a single building, a small community or a whole city, the competition encourages participants to use their creativity to design projects that primarily help the low-income communities within Lagos, Nigeria.
