Dwomoh's green building challenge

Dwomoh’s Green Building Challenge tells the story of a young Ghanaian architect who blends sustainability with cultural heritage. Inspired by traditional mud huts, stilt houses, and communal courtyards, he designs a community center using rammed earth walls, solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and spaces for crafts, storytelling, and dance. His vision honors Ghanaian traditions while embracing modern eco-friendly practices, impressing judges at an international competition. Declared the winner, Dwomoh’s design becomes a celebrated model of sustainable development and cultural pride in Ghana.
