  • Omar Degan's passion for Somalia, combined with his ability to infuse his creativity and empathy for his cultural identity into his architecture, made for well-woven and delivered TEDxEuston talk. While taking the audience on a journey through belonging in post-conflict communities, Omar shares his personal journey to his own identity. His architecture and designs are the result of this journey, centred by his belief in cultural understanding and community involvement- especially in helping to heal a post-conflict community through architecture. In his words, “Architecture can be a symbol of a renaissance, it can be a representation of cultural identity.

    although there is some misapplications on somali words such "burjiko" instead of saying "idin"
    burjiko : is the large one that is being used for cooking after puting it some Cinders
    but "idin" is for Perfuming the rooms and our grandmothers used to use it for drying and perfuming their hairs after washing , also for delivering the Firebrand to/from Neighbors
    in nutshell you are such amazing thank u !!!
