Architecture
Welcome to Art Means Business. This week our conversation is about the built environment, its role in Africa and how it is related to architecture and interior design. Furthermore, we explore how the built environment defines our identities in terms of who we are and how it affects our well-being, in other words our mental health, physical health and spirituality, while we also explore the business opportunities within this environment. Finally, we look at the trends within this environment and how governments are responding in terms of policy towards it. To help us discuss this is our guest Potlako Gesenelwe, who’s an expert in this field.
