First architectural catalogue launched

Scene Catalogue, an Architectural interior and exterior design magazine, the first of its kind in Ghana has been launched at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Accra on Friday, 30th May, 2014

Launching the magazine, Architect S.M Quartey, Principal Architect of Atelier expressed the hope that the new magazine will bring Ghanaian Architects to the light and educate Ghanaians on architecture and the relevance of the architectural services and products on our local market. He added that the purpose of the magazine, which is to bridge the gap between consumers in the building industry, will be achieved.
The Scene Catalogue is one of the many magazines out there but the first of its kind in Ghana, published by Editor-in-Chief and also an Architect Miss Abena Anima Adjei. “By the launch of the magazine, more light would be thrown on architecture and its related association.” She stated.
Speaking at the launch, Ms. Adjei said, “I am delighted that we have managed to launch the first Ghana Architectural/Interior magazine. The profession of architecture in Ghana has been on the down turn for some time now just because Ghanaians have not been well informed about the services of Architects and this is evident in the nature of our built environment. Scene Catalogue is here to bridge that gap”.
The Editor in chief added that the magazine feature works of our local architects, interior finishes and furnishes found on or local market and advice on our interior space and even our exteriors and landscaping.
The launch of the first Ghanaian Architectural magazine was proudly sponsored by Water Comfort (Sanitary wares), Imperial Homes, Atelier Architects, Arch Xenus and A2Z interiors.
The first three copies of the magazine was bought at GHs5,000 each.
