In conversation with Tamzin Lovell for Armature Magazine's Taller Together, Gilbert Balinda treats architecture as a public language of trust. Balinda, whose practice describes him as a Rwandan-Belgian architect and the founder and lead architect of Gilbert Balinda Architects, is less interested in spectacle than in what a building asks of its visitors: awe, caution, belonging, and distance. The conversation sits neatly beside the 2022 ICOM museum definition, which places accessibility, inclusion, ethics and community participation at the centre of museum work.
