Lagos biggest architectural festival announces 3rd edition this April

April 13, 2018 3:45 PM

Africa's pioneering Architectural festival, Open House Lagos will not only showcase the beauty of architecture in Lagos but the importance of water in city.

Every year Lagos experiences heavy rainfall. In 2017, Lagos witnessed the impact of yearly rainfall in its city with unprecedented flooding.

The experience, pictures, and videos shared on social media after the heavy rain, though comical sometimes, clearly showed what the future could look like. Lagos needs to prepare for an amphibious life where water becomes as important as land.
