A day of curiosity, experimentation and incredible processes. We moved between the analogue and the digital, the earthly and the cosmic, exploring how we touch the ground and relate to the sky. ✨

“Sitting in the round Plenary Hall, where every seat faced another rather than a single stage, I felt the room had made its argument before a word was spoken: this would be a week built on collaboration, not mere spectatorship.” 🌍✨  Hannah Loudon

Highlights from BAS graduate Hannah Loudon’s experience exhibiting her 3rd-year project, Echoes of the First Tongues, at the inaugural Pan-African Biennale of Architecture in Nairobi. Pan-African Biennale

Congratulations to Hannah and everyone involved in bringing the Biennale to life! 👏🔥
