We are very proud to share the publication in Chroniques d’architecture of the Ganhi Market, delivered in December 2024 with our local partner CASA ARCHI, in Cotonou, Benin.
Beyond its commercial function, the Ganhi Market embodies a vision of architecture as a lever for sustainable and social transformation:
• A commitment to addressing climate challenges:
Architecture designed for the local climate: natural ventilation, passive lighting, bioclimatic design… A sober, resilient building adapted to its environment.
• Highlighting local resources and expertise:
Materials sourced from the region, bricks made on site, involvement of local craftsmen… A project that supports the circular economy and celebrates Benin’s constructive identity.
• Architecture that fosters social ties:
More than just a market, it is a lively public space designed to encourage interaction, accommodate a variety of uses, and provide an inclusive setting.
Thank you to Chroniques d’Architecture for highlighting this project.
