EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nigel Smith transports us to the enchanting landscapes of Rwanda, where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously. The image showcases a striking contrast between two architectural styles - a traditional rondavel thatch hut standing gracefully next to a more contemporary tiled roof home. The Gishwati Rondavel, with its intricately woven thatched roof and earthy walls, represents the rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in Rwandan history. Its circular shape symbolizes unity and community spirit, while the natural materials used reflect the sustainable practices embraced by local communities for generations. In stark juxtaposition stands a modern tiled roof home, showcasing Rwanda's progress towards urbanization and development. This structure embodies sleek lines and clean aesthetics, representing an evolving society embracing new technologies and design concepts. Through this photograph, Smith captures not only architectural diversity but also the resilience of Rwandan culture amidst changing times. It serves as a reminder of how tradition can seamlessly blend with modernity without losing its essence. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of Africa's ability to embrace both past and present simultaneously. It invites us to appreciate the beauty found in preserving traditions while embracing progress. Nigel Smith's lens has beautifully frozen this moment in time for us to admire and ponder upon the ever-evolving nature of architecture in Africa's vibrant tapestry.
