Refiloe speaks to Professor Sumayya Vally, acclaimed architect (and principal of the award winning architecture and research practice Counter Space) about architecture as an artistic medium. The conversation salvages the concept from the idealistic or theoretical and brings it into the deeply personal and intimate realms.Sumayya gives a peak into the engine at the heart of her practice including how architecture shows up in political moments; Sumayya's fascination with under-appreciated stories; as well as the legacies of our heroes how she thinks of her own.
