Open House Lagos kicked off with an applaud able debate on Thursday, 27th April 2017 at Lagos’ first certified building, Heritage Place, No. 21 Lugard Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos. Well attended by architects, land surveyors and urban design enthusiasts, the debate was declared open by the project manager of Open House Lagos 2017, Mrs. Olamide Udoma Ejorh.
Presenting a remarkable key note presentation was Mr. Olasupo Shasore SAN who took the audience on an interesting journey of the past, present and future of architecture in Lagos. In a concluding remark, he described Lagos as a pedestrian city that is not pedestrian friendly, hence certain policies have to be put in place and attended to in order to have the Lagos we all dream of.
