Mariam Kamara
Architecture as Social Infrastructure
Founder of Atelier Masōmī, Mariam Kamara uses architecture as a tool for dignity and community building. Her work, often rooted in Niger’s vernacular techniques and earth materials, blends modernity with cultural specificity. Through projects such as the Niamey Cultural Centre, she is redefining how African cities can grow in ways that serve their people rather than erase their heritage.
