YOUR STORY | The first African architect David Mutiso

[@erichkmauro1308]

Huge and tremendous fine works. He deserves for all of us Africans architects to be proud of him. Thanks and deep respect. Blessings

[@MichaelRiq]

I thought Kicc was inspired by the coconut tree but hearing it from the father of Kenyan architects sets things straight. He is truly an inspiration to this generation of builders

[@themanifestingoddess1035]

Hahahahaha

[@njokikiama2790]

You know!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@clintonopati]

proud to be an architect

[@waynemutiso6125]

I don't know why people say KICC was designed by Karl Henrik Nøstvik. Kindly find his contact and ask him if him or Mr David Mutiso designed KICC. It's like we can't be proud or believe that one of our fellow Kenyans could do such a job. Really people - get it together. Be proud of you're fellow Africans and let's continue to build Africa for Africans.

African architects in newly independent countries worked under master architects or professional leads who were a carry-over of colonial administrations. Karl Henrik Nøstvik was such a carry over so some concept design input could have been a young architect David Mutiso's then but the real professional lead architect was the Norwegian Karl Henrik Nøstvik. The detailing shows in the extravaganza use of timber, a very Scandinavian Norwegian use of materials. Architect David Mutiso should be content at having been there at the right time as a supervising civil servant/ government assistant/ chief architect at the height of the "Africanization" of the civil service.

He designed BuruBuru too, my first Kenyan home. So interesting.

[@davidjuma6994]

inspiration comes in many ways

[@paulinepolly1750]

That's true

[@monicahwanjiru6455]

[@ankolbizzy8850]

Kenya home🙏🙏

[@thuraku]

Great story... However the reporter forgot to mention that the building was first named KCC

[@Brian-ul2mw]

Impressive

[@Exclema]

1:55 best part of interview😂

[@catherinesani1556]

Nice, but title should say First Kenyan African Architect....

[@leobvenzen8565]

How is this man the first Afrikan architect? So then, who designed thousand the houses, buildings, structures, cities, etc., of the numerous Ancient Afrikan civilizations then? I guess you'll never heard of the great Imhotep, the world's first recorded multi genius (the very same that designed the world'sfirst stone structure). You need to step up your game and dig deeper, much deeper into Afrikan history!! Your caption is false! This man is an architect, but very, very far from "the first Afrikan architect!"

The first certified by British colonists

[@Agentsmith2024]

Why is the video editor's name important??

[@maalimtv1470]

He said "The tower was inspired by donkeys pinus" ama alisemaje

[@tafari988]

Yep you heard that right! 🐴😂😂😂

[@TeslaMedia418]

Hahahahaha uko radaa

[@ggracielar]

He said penus... I didn't quite figure it was penis.. But what is a penus n does a donkey have one.. The next suitable name is a penis.. . 🤔

[@davidlubanga5527]

By the way that is the exact pronunciation. Pinus! He might have spent some time in the UK

[@gabrielndumbu4384]

yeah...mind you, it is the right way of pronunciation

Mutiso unachoma baba 😂😂

[@Tomto1akili]

Check the facts on this! Wikipedia will give you some clues... Do not always believe what someone says about himself. Also READ the certificate, It is not related to what he is talking about.

[@davidmutunga4953]

Read Wikipedia again

[@waynemutiso6125]

Contact Karl Henrik Nøstvik and ask him personally. I have his family contacts. Please do not comment on things you do not know.

[@abibnoor]
