The cave – both as a physical space and a metaphor – is a
provocation to test the limits of contem- porary architecture. It
invites new thinking about how architecture can adapt to a more
community- focused, ecologically sensitive, low-carbon future. This
publication and the accompanying sixth exhibition in The
Architect’s Studio series at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art
are dedicated to the Kenyan architects Cave_bureau. Stella Mutegi
and Kabage Karanja from Cave_bureau describe eight of their
projects. Stunning visuals are accompanied by essays poignantly
asking questions about the future of architecture in the age of the
Anthropocene, the effects of colonial extraction and erasure on
African architecture as well as the specificity of each continent
and each geographic space. CAVE_BUREAU is a Nairobi-based bureau of
architects and researchers founded in 2014 by Stella Mutegi and
Kabage Karanja. The bureau charts explorations into architecture
and urbanism within nature. Its work addresses the anthropological
and geological context of the African city as a means to confront
the complexities of our contemporary rural and urban lives.
