ARCH_ACTIVISTS!

From Africa with love & pride.


Sharing value in every interaction is synonymous with a path well-travelled.

The COSTALOPES atelier is lead by Alexandre Costa Lopes.

The atelier operates within the fields of architecture, urbanism, landscape and interior design, ranging from large-scale developments and urban interventions to single-family houses.

1991 — 2021

With pride, we look back over the past decades and identify an inescapable contribution to the African continent’s architectural awakening.

 

the attitude

It is all about a permanent attitude: getting in tune with people’s values.

We achieve this by involving communities – giving people the space to participate and intervene in the outcome of what is produced.

It’s another way of creating meaning on a broader scale, for society as a whole, clearly articulated with all stakeholders.

COSTALOPES’ practice is a composition of values that people feel connected to – a set of values that give our work greater meaning and purpose, making the end result easier and substantially more rewarding.
