Vice President/Secretary
 Born in Ghana, West Africa, trained at the Architectural Association (AA) in London between 1980-1986. Joe Addo has worked for architectural firms in Finland, The United Kingdom and the United States. He currently operates his practice in Los Angeles and Ghana. Early influences were with Peter and Alison Smith through their protégé Peter Salter at the AA. The work and interest of the practice has been influences by various investigations of ‘genus-loci’ and how architecture can/should respond to this in creating pieces that are both site specific and meet the needs of the people who will inhabit or interact with it. This has lead to a more public intervention on the Southside of Los Angeles, where several projects are under construction which will hopefully establish a discourse between what is important to communities and how site, climate, materials and their weathering, with design intent, should shape these interventions.
