‘“Life is architecture, and architecture is the mirror of “. I.M. Pei
Architecture is not a science that is taught and learned as a skill to work, but architecture is a science, art, life, values, principles, and morals that you live together at the moment you enter the world of architecture. Architecture taught me that planning, design, and creativity are a necessity for human survival in this universe and that renewal and continuous development are among the pillars of life. I believe that architecture can meet all human needs, improve human life, and regulate behaviour and ideologies. Therefore, in the early ages, man used to take shelter in caves and primitive hideouts from dangers, and as time passed, he knew how to harness nature for himself and build houses. With the progress of time, architecture developed and affected people’s life and behaviour, and even architecture became a cornerstone of human life.
“Architecture is the soul of the building, so if the building loses its soul, humans will despise this building. And if he becomes despised, it is difficult for him to live in that place.”

ADD Digital Design was founded by architects in different countries of Turkey, Rwanda, Kenya, and Somalia. Today, ADD is a leading company in East Africa and the Horn of Africa. It contributes to the reconstruction of Africa and to be a sustainable and environmentally friendly environment. ADD seeks to obtain radical solutions to the housing problems that afflict Africa and create a sustainable relationship between the human and the built, and that is an architectural fabric stemming from African identity and culture. Our services stem from ethical principles and values that preserve human nature before profit. We believe that architecture has a fundamental role in the future of humans, especially in Africa. Through architecture, we can create a world that does not threaten human existence, but a world that contributes to its renaissance and makes people feel belonging to it and not feel the feeling of alienation.
Our vision
Through architecture, we believe that we can change Africa, urban reconstruction, and solve environmental problems to a sustainable and human-friendly environment so that people feel a sense of belonging to the place in which they live. Professional design and implementation make the project successful and decide the future of the project.
