We are thrilled to announce that our next ASAZ Professional Development Lunch will feature Mariam Kamara (@mariamkamr), a Nigerien architect and Full Professor of Architecture Heritage and Sustainability at ETH Zurich. 🙌🏾

Prof. Kamara is the founder of Atelier Masōmī, an architecture and research practice that tackles public, cultural, residential, commercial and urban design projects in Africa and beyond. Her designs focus on open living spaces and make use of locally produced materials such as cement, recycled metal and raw earth. 🌍✨

She has won several international honors, including two LaFargeHolcim Awards and a Prince Claus Award, for her innovative and sustainable projects such as Niamey 2000 and Hikma Community Complex. 🏆

Join us to hear Prof. Kamara share her professional story from computer science to architecture, inspirations, and career advice with ASAZ members. 🗣️

We would also like to extend our warmest thanks to ETH4D for their collaboration and for generously sponsoring the lunch at this event.

This is a unique opportunity to meet one of the most influential and inspiring African architects of our time. Don’t miss it! 😊
