ABSTRACT
The neo-heritage architecture of AD Consulting combines Adenowo’s career-long exposure to global architecture with a traditional African approach to building design solutions. Adenowo is the architect of more than 70 buildings, and specialises in master planning and projects at scale. The studio changes from the daylight serenity and opacity of the envelope to a nocturnal glow and transparency as darkness falls. In conversation with the incoming residents, the scheme has been developed according to the community’s specific needs and requests.

The Ngarannam Village project seems to have catalysed Oshinowo’s career. Recently chosen to curate the second Sharjah Architecture Biennale, 2023, focusing on ‘sustainable architecture, urbanism and infrastructure’, Oshinowo now has a platform from which to voice the hopes and ambitions of Nigerian communities on a global stage.
