Danièle Diwouta-Kotto

Cameroonian designer and architect

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.

The record lists Danièle Diwouta-Kotto as Cameroonian designer and architect.

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto was born at Cameroon in 1960. Her recorded nationality is Cameroon.

Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.

She is recorded as designer and architect.

Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.

That the work was built in Cameroon shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Danièle Diwouta-Kotto is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
