Architectural Practice - Gbenga Martins Alalade

Alalade Gbenga, Ph.D.

Registered Architect, Adjunct Professor, Design Mentor & Global Leader Connecting People by Creating Smart and Sustainable Buildings and Cities.

My Practice Experience

My focus is on connecting people by creating smart and sustainable buildings and cities. My interest in architectural structures sparked my flair for long-span and large-scale buildings. I have had the privilege to lead the design and construction of several large-scale and infrastructural projects across Nigeria and a few African countries ranging from stadiums, megachurches, shopping malls, airports, high-rise buildings, educational facilities, housing estates, road construction, wastewater treatment plants, power plant among others.

I serve as the Project Director and Lead Architect of the 100,000-seat stadium-like sanctuary, of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, prophetically called, 'The Ark,' which would be the largest covered stadium structure in the world upon completion.

As part of my project work, I have served as the Director, Physical Planning and Development, at Living Faith Church Worldwide and Covenant University. My wide range of experience spans across Design, Campus Planning and Design, Project Management and Facilities Management.

I'm a registered Architect with the Architects Registration Council of Nigeria (ARCON) and a member of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA). I also hold an executive education from the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom on Steering Complex Projects.
