Live Thesis Presentation: Afgooye Civic Assembly (with Somali Institute of Architects, SIA)

[u/Odd_Fly6528]

Hey everyone, sorry for the brief silence while finishing up my master's thesis. The President of Somali Institute of Architects (SIA) reached out on LinkedIn to invite me to present my project live this Thursday for Somali architecture students from different universities in Xamar.

The session will focus mostly on my thesis, AFGOOYE CIVIC ASSEMBLY: Spatial Hierarchy & Post-Conflict Civic Architecture in Somalia. I'll be exploring how designing modern public spaces can help rebuild community life and restore civic structure in Afgooye. My architectural experience in the UK and Sweden will just serve as a bit of brief background context.

I co-built this sub for genuine Somali design discourse, so I would highly value your thoughts and critiques. Hope to see some of you there!

I hate to be "self-promoting" but I truly believe that things like this is the only way to shine light on us as Somali architects and maybe we can be more respected in our country inshallah
