Welcome to Isaac's Notebook

 

Hello.

I’m Isaac, and I’m doing this scared, if you can’t tell.

This blog has been a long time coming, so here it is. It is my public notebook, where my thoughts and ideas are recorded for the sake of posterity, open to the scrutiny of the internet forever. It has the ulterior motive of massaging my (somewhat healthy) ego, but it may also entertain you. Or educate you. Or inspire you to aspire….

Fortunately for you all, I am a man of many interests, some have even called me a “jack of all trades”, so this blog may become a dump of incoherent nonsense, but as God empowers me, I will keep it narrowed to these broad topics:

  1. Architecture and design (and everything associated with it)
  2. Football (Hopefully nothing much about Manchester United)
  3. Policy and Government (Ah, Nigeria deserves better leadership)
  4. My Christian faith (God is The Foundation of my life)

Let me first introduce myself.

I’m Isaac Opeyemi, a Christian architectural associate living and working in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. I am starting this blog as another creative outlet. Also, I want to develop writing as a skill that can add value.

I hope you find the various expressions of this blog valuable and enjoyable. I hope I get to learn more about myself and life in general as I begin this journey.

Looking forward to sharing as I learn.

There is always a place in the world for creativity.

And don't forget to smile, because Jesus loves you.

P.S.: Be nice in the comments.

Location: Ibadan, Oyo, Nigeria

Disclaimer: As architects, we are very much part of the real estate industry, often due to economic factors. However, this post is written with the intention of urging a shift in how we approach our roles. We need to move from being mere tools for developers to taking up the responsibility of shaping the future of housing in Nigeria—one that serves the public good and reflects our culture, context, and values. PARK & POLK : A Mixed-Use Apartment Building by Jonathan Segal Architects Hello, everyone! As promised, I’m back. And today, it’s all about architecture (and real estate). *takes deep breath First, let me give you some context. I graduated in 2019 and was due for NYSC (a mandatory year-long national service in Nigeria). However, due to the chaos caused by COVID-19, I never had the chance to work in an architecture office. Instead, I was posted to the works department of a surveying school. This unexpected turn of events gave me a lot of research time (mostly podcasts), which...
