In this ongoing collaboration with Limbo Accra, I have been designing immersive digital experiences using the scanned archive of unfinished construction projects in West Africa which Limbo Accra have been collecting. These buildings represent grand visions of incomplete African futures. In bringing these buildings to life through film and video games, and presenting this phenomenon to new audiences, we hope to flip the narrative on these sites, presenting their opportunity. We encourage viewers to optimistically speculate on what might come next for them. Parts of this ongoing work are currently shown at the Sharjah Architecture Triennial, the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, and Chicago Architecture Biennial.
