Architects Directory alumnus: Atelier Masomi
The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, in the next months, we will be looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. Drawing on local climate, materials and vernacular, Niamey's new cultural centre by Mariam Kamara will be a valuable hub for the arts in the region, but also feel at one with its environment. Kamara's studio, Atelier Masomi, was first featured in the 2019 Architect Directory.
