Lagos is Africa’s largest city. Next to the sea, it experiences regular flooding from tropical rains, and water is a way of life for many residents, particularly those in Makoko.

Nigerian architect Kunle Adeyemi is hoping to build another – one that floats on the water and is powered by solar panels.
