TETTEY
NARTEY
Giles Tettey Nartey is a British-Ghanaian designer, researcher and architect. His work references African craft cultures and investigates the potential of reconstituted objects as a tool for the reimagination of artefacts, practices and rituals. Giles co-leads a diploma unit at the Architectural Association School of Architecture and is also an Associate Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) where he is undertaking a design PhD.
His research-based design practice is centred around the medium of assemblage as a time-based critical artistic practice. He is interested in new relationships of film, performance, installation, space, and objects. He explores the west African quotidian and the activation of his work through everyday practices, often using designed objects as well as found and archival material
