Following the launch of the book Unknown 3: Architect-Developers, we are excited to share details of the first A3 Futures Lab. This initiative investigates how heritage meets social relevance and private capital in a landscape defined by the absence of state intervention and the often inadequate efforts of advocacy groups. The Context: Yaba 2020–2026 In 2020, a member of the A3-Archnet Collaborative, Ogunsetan Abdullah documented this landmark - Odubela Furniture & Co [in the flyer] at the intersection of commerce and AfroBrazilian Heritage —a building belonging to a family of master cabinetmakers. By 2026, this site illustrates the current condition of Yaba. A district once distinct for its Afro-Brazilian heritage styles is rapidly giving way to anonymous, characterless developments. This shift is driven by style-agnostic tech capital seeking to remake Yaba into an "island complex"—a mirror of VI or Ikoyi, awash with tech-driven rents and "innovator" premiums, but stripped of its soul. The Mission: Beyond the Lecture. We aren't here to mourn or lampoon. We are here to build. The challenge is clear: How do we generate "new futures" that marry heritage with the dire need for housing and the necessity of profit? In the Nigerian context, where the state has largely stepped back, developers are the primary architects of our urban future. We believe these stakeholders don't need lectures; they need visual possibilities that prove heritage and returns can coexist. Call for Researchers We are looking for six researchers for the inaugural A3 Futures Lab. The Mindset: You believe visual research needs technology and that technology is a scaffold, not a gimmick. The Approach: You aren’t "welded to the past, or manual ways of creating the future. The Goal: You believe in showing, and tired of talking. You believe creating the visual possibilities proves that better choices are possible. You dont mind Generative AI The first session is tomorrow, 16 May 2026. 3pm WAT and will focus specifically on exploring Yaba. We are keeping this cohort small to ensure deep, actionable output.

Oríkì: Material Affirmations in Three Acts és el primer monogràfic de l’artista nigerià Nifemi Marcus-Bello (@nmbello1), publicat per Apartamento Publishing. El llibre pren el nom de la tradició ioruba de poesia de lloança i articula un recorregut per la trajectòria de l’artista, incorporant un text personal escrit per la seva mare, Folake Marcus-Bello, així com un assaig autobiogràfic que connecta infància i pràctica artística. La publicació s’estructura al voltant de la sèrie escultòrica Oríkì, dividida en tres actes —Friction Ridge, Tales by Moonlight i Whispers of a Trail—, en què Marcus-Bello treballa amb materials com el bronze, l’alumini i el coure. El volum inclou un pròleg d’Eames Demetrios (@eamesdemetrios) i textos d’Irene Sunwoo (@_rinks), Glenn Adamson (@glenn_adamson) i Rita Ouédraogo (@ritaouedraogo) , a més d’una entrevista amb Camille Okhio (@cokhio). El conjunt es completa amb fotografies de diversos autors: entre ells Ọlájídé Ayẹni (@jide_yeni), Kadara Enyeasi (@enyeasi), Erik Benjamins (@erik.benjamins), Eric Petschek (@cb) i el mateix artista. Des de Nexe Impressions hem gestionat la producció del volum, amb 128 pàgines en Munken Print White de @munkenpaper intercalades amb 24 pàgines en Creator Star de Lecta. La coberta s’ha realitzat en estucat brillant. La impressió combina tinta negra i un @pantone verd fosforescent per a l’interior principal i quadricromia per les pàgines en Creator Star, mentre que la coberta incorpora una tinta metal·litzada, el negre i el Pantone fosforescent, i s’acaba amb PP brillant a la cara i vernís acrílic al dors. L’enquadernació és rústega cosida i el conjunt s’insereix dins una sobrecoberta. @apartamentomagazine @apartamentostudios @robbiewhitehead @arctic_paper @arctic_paper_espana #nexeimpressions #printworthy #artbook #pantone #apartamentomagazine

📸@jide_yeni I am a media artist telling stories about the built environment and its relationship with people. I am often preoccupied with documenting urban change, and how urban change impacts people living and working within sites of action, construction, or destruction. My project is about the impact that the continuous effect of – building-rebuilding and destruction-construction has on the city of Lagos and on its people. Particularly as the city strives harder for its mega-city status. #FromRuinsToRemembrance #EnuguPhotoFestival2025 #ExhibitingArtist

We visited Bijlmer - a neighborhood imagined in the 1960s as a utopian modern city, later stigmatized as “the ghetto,” and now known as a powerful site of Black cultural resilience, migration histories, and self-determined community-building. Walking through Bijlmer through the eyes and stories shared by @wpocs , I was struck by how space remembers - not as architecture alone, but as voices, textures, struggle, joy, survival, and reinvention. Here, urban dreaming and resistance meet in everyday gestures, open fields, courtyards, sites of remembrance, the quiet insistence of existence. It reminded me that to understand a place, you must listen to its people - beyond data, beyond design, beyond first impressions. Cities are not built from material - they are built from memory, proximity, and courage. Grateful for the invitation to witness Bijlmer not as a “case study,” but as an archive of becoming. 📷 @maud_fernhout @biekhay #buidingbeyond #bijlmer #amsterdam #stories #cities #community #people #time #biekhay

In Rotterdam for the Building Beyond Lab Week, I found myself thinking deeply about rest as intelligence, space as relationship, and people as landscape. These days were not only about ideas, but about how we arrive - how we listen to a city, how we soften into unfamiliar spaces, how we allow others to shape our imagining, and how the spaces we enter hold us when we break open. I am reminded that the future is not only built through innovation, but through care, slowness, and the quiet architecture of trust. To walk, to pause, to be witnessed - to let a place change you before you attempt to change it - that, to me, feels like the beginning of true spatial imagination. Grateful for the people, the conversations, and the invisible infrastructures of holding. We build beyond by remembering we are not building alone. Slide 4 - My reminder of where and what I come from, my why and what I am in the making of Thanks for the prompt @cye.bng May we continue to be in process 🙏🏾 Mundial #buildingbeyond #rotterdam #restasresistance #spatialimagination #creativecommunities #peopleandplaces #urbanfutures #artasrelation #biekhay #mundial

Nifemi Marcus-Bello and Rodrigo Amarante present LISTENING ROOM The Lagos-based designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello will be present in Paris for the first time. He will unveil a new iteration of his M2 Shelf, this time integrated with a speaker – a collaboration with La Boîte concept – that recalls the living-room furniture his parents owned when he was growing up. Installed within a contemplative listening space – complete with a bench and a stool by Paris-based designer Thomas Morineau Barthelemy – the work invites visitors to pause, sit, and immerse themselves in Brazilian musician Rodrigo Amarante’s textural and contemplative soundtrack. 

Taking place at experimental cultural center Union de la Jeunesse Internationale – itself housed in a historic building that once hosted the iconic Tati department store – Listening Room unfolds as part of COLORS Studios’ TONES of Paris, a multi-day, curated experience connecting music, fashion, design, and community across the city. The project was made possible through the support of Amauri Aguiar, founder of design gallery VERSO, whose longstanding support of Marcus-Bello’s practice and appreciation for Amarante’s work made their encounter through CONTRIBUTIONS a serendipitous convergence. Monday, Oct. 20 Cocktail opening: 7-10PM Union de la Jeunesse Internationale 2-4 blvd Rochechouart 75018 Paris Visiting hours: Monday, Oct. 20 - Tuesday, Oct. 21 12PM-7PM daily Wednesday, Oct. 22 Closed Thursday, October. 23 - Saturday, Oct.25 12PM-5PM daily @nmbello1 @_rodrigo_amarante @la.boite.concept @th.mrn.brthlm @verso_works @unionjeunesseinternationale @colorsxstudios
