Studio NEiDA: Bridging Togo and Germany Through Spatial Design
Studio NEiDA, co-founded by Franco-Togolese architect Jeanne Autran-Edorh, operates between Togo and Germany, designing spaces that embody what the studio calls 'architecture that houses multitudes.' In a recent interview with curator and writer Fabiola Büchele, Autran-Edorh highlighted the overlooked colonial history connecting the two countries: Togo was a German colony before later coming under French rule. This layered past informs the studio's pluralistic approach to space, which seeks to accommodate memories, knowledge, and conflicts. The article, written by Camilla Ghisleni and published on August 18, 2026, appears on ArchDaily and examines how the studio translates cultural identity into physical environments. A featured image of Hôtel de la Paix accompanies the piece, exemplifying the studio's architectural vision.
