1. A friend kindly sent me a short clip of architect David Adjaye extolling the virtues of Bank Square, the new HQ of the Bank of Ghana that he designed for contractor GoldKey to build.
2. Since the imposing building divides opinion on its elegance and beauty, I was very keen to hear what the designer himself had to say.
3. It was surreal!
4. I heard the architect talk about how when he saw the other designs entered into the competition by rival bidders, he literally burst out laughing. He said that his competitors had thrown up all manner of "Dubai like" glass and steel buildings that look like "dancing" structures.
5. His choice of design was heavily informed by the deeper symbolism of what the new Bank of Ghana HQ stood for. He had concluded that the apex body managing a nation's wealth cannot look transient. It must project absolute permanence and ascendance.
6. He thus bypassed lightweight design trends of the current era in favor of heavy, earth-bound stone to project regulatory power and systemic stability. In fact, he said he would have done a ramped-earth tower if he had the chance! And then, with a glint in his eye and a chuckle rolling down his throat, threatened to build one somewhere very soon.
7. So, why surreal?
8. Regular readers may recall that I have worried in the past about the cost overruns during the building's development. I think that by the time the various features that were suspended to get it over the finishing line are added, it may top $600 million. But that was not what jolted me. At all.
9. It is the uncanny semblance between the architectural logic behind BoG's Bank Square and that behind a cluster of buildings built between 1917 and 1973 for a financial institution in Rhode Island that used to finance hospitals in Providence.
10. The cluster of buildings then came to be taken over by banks. One was eventually donated to the Rhode Island School of Design, which is how I came to know their story in the first place. You see, I had once considered pursuing the artistic portion of my creative passions.
11. When you look at the Sovereign Banking Tower (as the main tower in the cluster aforementioned is sometimes called when not being called "One Financial Plaza") and its adjacent sister buildings, and then flip your glance over to Bank Square in Accra, you can't help but gasp.
12. Exactly the same thinking that drove Adjaye many decades after and in a totally different cultural setting can be found in the design language of John Carl Warnecke & Associates. It is manifested in the rectangular prism with beveled vertical edges adorning the skyline of Providence.
13. See attached images (incl one of the rejected "dancing" designs).
14. What is at work here? I think it is the same spirit that drove both Newton and Leibniz working oceans apart to independently invent the calculus: creative telepathy.
15. There is a bond that binds all feats of intellect regardless of culture, context, and circumstance.
