In a new series of profiles, we follow Ghanaian spatial design studio Limbo Accra on a journey that explores its collaborations. Limbo Accra’s rich network developed through global partnerships that founder Dominique Petit-Frère nurtured with leading urban space-makers and architectural enthusiasts. The series discusses critical issues of our time, such as design intention, intergenerationality, creativity and change through Africa and its diaspora.

It is a point Petit-Frère can relate to: ‘A lot of it wasn’t. From my practice in Ghana, which focuses on activating incomplete architecture, I found that many of these works are structural units that need to take up space.’When it comes to penetrating architecture and design spaces, for Coop ‘it’s all in the language’.

Despite feeling recharged by this ancestral energy, Coop also speaks of a pain from infrastructural racism that people of his father’s generation faced, and many Black communities continue to face in light of rapid urban development.
