If Architecture is to contribute to the advancement of mankind, a close relationship between social and political expectations of nations should be carefully considered.

Dilli Matenge Architects was formed in November 1994 by Dilli Matenge with among others, the above notions in mind. The practice also believes that “Design is not a product of the intelligentsia ..... it is everybody’s business and when it loses contact with the public, it is on the losing end.” It is for this reason that each one of our Clients is as important as the other. Their views, their aspirations and their goals will always play an important role in the designs that we carry out. As the late Hassan Fathy (the famous Egyptian Architect) once said: “Every people that has produced Architecture has evolved from its own favourite forms as perculiar to that people as its language, its dress, its folklore....

its language, its dress, its folklore.... There were all over the world distinctive local shapes and details in Architecture and the buildings of any locality were the happy children of a marriage between the imagination of the people and the demands of the countryside”.

Dilli Matenge Architects does not follow any particular style of Architecture but rather uses the resources available to respond to the Clients’ demands taking into consideration the demands of the environment.
