AAK's Statement on State House Renovations

[mzeiya]

The Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK) expresses deep concern over the ongoing renovations at State House, Nairobi, which compromise its historical and architectural significance.Built in 1907 and designed by Sir Herbert Baker, State House is a neo-classical masterpiece that should be preserved, not altered. The recent renovations—changing its iconic roofing, proportions, and symmetry—diminish its historical essence.Kenya must prioritize restoration over drastic design changes to protect our heritage. AAK calls on the government to:​

1. Halt further alterations to State House.​

2. Establish clear heritage conservation guidelines.​

3. Consult heritage experts and the public in preserving national landmarks.​

Heritage be our Splendour.​

Gen Z cheerleaders whining about the Statehouse refurbishment, as if they weren't trying to set the whole thing on fire last year. Bonobo. Dimwits.
