Tour of The Leonardo with Co-Arc Architects

Africa’s tallest building, the Leonardo, at 57 stories is a feat of engineering and architectural ambition, and is within easy walking distance from the SCC for in-person tours. Led by a majority women-team at Co-Arc International Architects, the building has proved transformative in many surprising ways, not least its contextually appropriate unique design and construction approaches and its focus on creating job opportunities and contributing to the local economy. Apart from the architecture, the building is remarkable for its thousands-strong art collection, much of it specially curated and commissioned for the building by art consultants The Trinity Sessions.
