Mariam Issoufou talks to Salone del Mobile about her intersectional approach to architecture and her interest in maintaining an intimate dialogue between architecture, people and their context. She says: “Although our work exists in different geographical locations — from Africa, Europe and the Middle East — the starting point is always the same. The starting point for all our projects is to immerse ourselves in deep research to learn as much as we can about the people, climate, and culture of the regions in which we work. This research-led approach has continued to enrich our architectural projects no matter the typology we are working on. Our work rests on three pillars: intersectional sustainability, new urban typologies and creating social impact.”
