Nieuwe Instituut welcomes Kunlé Adeyemi as part of a series of talks with emerging and established international voices from the design field. The architect talks about his practice, inspirations, fascinations and his newest publication African Water Cities.

Kunlé Adeyemi was born in Nigeria and lives and works in the Netherlands. Together with his agency NLÉ, for the past decade he has been researching the relationship between cities and water, rising sea levels and housing shortages. He studies coastal African cities where rapid urbanisation and rising water levels are leading to major challenges and innovative solutions.
