Unfinished buildings in Ghana are “sites of potential” says Dominique Petit-Frère at SCADStyle

Transforming ‘contemporary ruins’ into public activations can offer healing for local communities, says Limbo Accra founder Dominique Petit-Frère at a Dezeen talk filmed in partnership with SCAD in Savannah, Georgia.

Called Driving Social Change Through Material Practice as part of the SCADStyle 2025 Symposium, the talk brought together Petit-Frère and Dezeen’s US editor Ben Dreith to discuss how transforming unfinished building sites can revitalise neighbourhoods and spark wider conversations about adaptive reuse.
