design team<\/a><\/strong> also examines Afro-Brazilian architectural forms developed between the mid-1800s and mid-1900s by returnees from Brazil. The exhibition extends to post-independence modernist architecture, highlighting civic and commercial buildings such as the Hotel Sarakawa, Hedzranawoe market, and the ECOWAS and BOAD banks.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pavilion addresses the current condition of these architectural sites, contrasting deteriorated examples like the H\u00f4tel de la Paix and the Bourse du Travail with buildings that have undergone recent restoration, including Hotel 2 F\u00e9vrier and the Palais des Congr\u00e8s. The exhibition positions these sites within ongoing discussions about architectural preservation and adaptation in West Africa.<\/p>\n

Pavilion uses design Heritage in Togo as exhibition\u2019s Framework<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Togo\u2019s architectural heritage, which spans ancient clay structures to complex histories and outlandish modernist experiments, is an incredible source of inspiration for our work. This built legacy, at times ingenious, at times eccentric, is a powerful guide for future architectural approaches that are contextual and climate compatible,\u2019 comment Studio NEiDA\u2019s designers on accepting the commission.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Founding Director of Palais de Lom\u00e9, Sonia Lawson, shares, \u2018I am delighted to commission the first Togolese Pavilion at the International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It is a milestone to showcase Togo\u2019s diverse architectural heritage to a large number of visitors from across the world. The Palais de Lom\u00e9 is a landmark architectural venue in Togo. Once a place of colonial exclusion, the institution\u2019s program engages in a dialogue of contemporary issues relating to culture, architecture and the environment. I hope the pavilion furthers the conversations on the future and preservation of architectural heritage in West Africa.\u2019 The Togo Pavilion is organised by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Digital Transformation of the Republic of Togo. The exhibition is designed in collaboration with Zuecca Projects, Venice.<\/p>\n
