There's been a lot of complaints about the rising heat situation in the country and how are we going to cope in the next few years.

Trees are being cut down indiscriminately, architects are being blamed, developers are also taking some hits but yet again nothing is happening.

This conversation with Kofi is a long time coming and it would give you a perspective on some various ways to cool a building for your habitable use.

Housing is in short supply and one of the reasons you can say that is, is due to the current material we use to build.

In comes Geopolymer Interlocking Blocks which could make us build faster and more sustainably as it has less cement content. The interlocking blocks make it an interesting building material as you may not need a whole lot of expertise to put up a building. This might just save the housing crisis we are facing in Ghana and the world.

There is a past we are losing. From our history to our architecture. Is there even an architecture we are losing? Some might say, what defines Ghanaian architecture for us to also lose it.

Heritage is an important factor in architecture we should never lose, else we might never know how to truly proceed for the future generation of architecture. In this episode, Kojo Derban takes us through on a bit of a journey on the heritage of Ghanaian architecture. What are we losing and can the old be saved.

There are many notions about land in Ghana. The most common one is about ensuring you are not duped when buying land in the country.

There is more to it than that. In this episode, Afua shares her knowledge in the land system in Ghana and how any one individual can acquire a piece of land for themselves, ensuring no trouble comes about in later years.

This is the information you need to avoid land litigation disputes and be a stress-free landowner.

Project management int the AEC industry used to bug me for a while. I never got the need for project managers on a jobsite when an architect can perform the same role. Project managers in other industries on the other hand, I was all for it.

In this episode, I talk with Samuel on project management as a whole and the aspects it deals with when it comes to the building industry. There were a lot of things that needs to be said and understood, about how it all works to make a building project successful. Afterall, it can ruin a project if not done right.

We are looking at possibilities of mistakes. Mistakes and certain misfortunes can occur on any jobsite through some weird way.

In this episode, I sat down with two of my friends and talked about all weird stuff they have witnessed on their sites and, what others might be facing. Other things were talked about as well.

Real estate has been a sector with many whims. People have made their fortunes with it and people have lost everything as well.

In some small part, I play a role in the real estate market, just a tiny role.

I sat down with Makafui Kuffo, who researches on the real estate market and is actively a part of it in diverse ways with Saasepedia.

This episode of Architectural Revolution promises to be an engaging conversation with what research says on the real estate market, some opportunities that are present and what possibly could be done in it to benefit in some small way from it.

The trailer for the second anthology series of guests who share their stories and the amazing things they do.

It is the end of the year, the end of Book 3 but not the end of Architectural Revolution. I give a bit of review of this year's book and the things to come in the following year.

Don't forget about AR because it won't forget about you and keep bringing you information that looks to create a shift in the mindset around Architecture and its connecting industries.
