If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming an architect, listen to this encounter with Joe Osae- Addo, an architect and designer who’s lived in any parts of the world. His idea about what architects should do is simple: they should meet the needs of the people who use the spaces they create.

Addo himself built a beautiful, breezy home in his native Ghana, using local timber, local bamboo and local adobe mud blocks. Because, he says, importing housing solutions will never work.
