Design Of New Benin National Assembly By Kere Architecture Inspired By Palaver Tree

Kéré Architecture recently shared their design for the new Benin National Assembly on Instagram. Located in Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin, the project is currently under construction.

The design draws profound inspiration from the palaver tree, a significant symbol in West African culture where communities traditionally gather to make consensual decisions. This age-old practice highlights the respect for nature and communal decision-making.

The Benin National Assembly aims to reflect these values through its design, capturing the essence of the palaver tree as a timeless and majestic symbol. The new assembly building is set to embody both tradition and modernity, offering a meaningful representation of West African heritage.
