Mogadishu was once a beautiful seaside city, but war has turned it into an empty shell hosting internally displaced people. Now a new initiative wants to document and preserve the city’s architectural heritage by digitally restoring these monuments and ruins. The goal of the initiative, which is led by a team of Somali architecture students, is to reimagine how Mogadishu once functioned as a modern African capital, and to help audiences experience how relevant cultural, political, and historical statues and builds were created.
