Studio NYALI is a London based architecture practice founded by Nana Biamah-Ofosu and Bushra Mohamed. Our work is interested in examining, challenging and shifting architectural critiques and narratives towards a more inclusive, holistic understanding of the built environment. The practice is focused on identity, shared histories and spaces with a strong belief that architecture must be understood as the embodiment and artefact of the human experience. As designers, our work aims to centre peripheral identities, cultures and people.
Teaching is an integral part of our practice. Together, Nana & Bushra lead a Diploma Unit at the Architectural Association & an undergraduate studio at the Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston School of Art.
We are currently carrying out a research project The Course of Empire: A Compound House Typology with a book to be published in 2023.
