It is an interactive web-based Photography Installation. The photo project explores and documents old and changing urban landscapes to create a fused archive of contemporary and historic Lagos.The project prompts reflection on important questions about our value for history and archives in today’s world and the need to build more modern structures to satisfy the taste for the modernity of the burgeoning urban population with contemporary architecture and designs. It goes on to further state that The project actively involves online documentation of found archival photographs of Architect and Photographer Gillian Hopwood, who, with her husband John Godwin, moved to Lagos in 1954 to work. Her iconic photographs which depict dynamic architectural pieces, interesting people and famous places in Lagos are merged with photographs of present day situations and how they are being appropriated. The juxtaposed images take a new form in an online interactive platform that largely includes (but is not limited to) pre-independence, early post-independence photos between 1955 and 1965 with photographs from made in 2015. Now take a look at the differences between these pictures taken in 1958 and 2015 respectively. 1. Tinubu Square 2 Likes

The differences seem to be brought about by effect of the monochromatic camera then and the panchromatic camera used now. 1 Like |

Ngozi123: Thank you for the observation, it was much cleaner not until the children of erosion land imported their dirt,just like they did in abia,enugu and imo that makes almost all cities in south east make up top 20 most polluted cities in the world |

OkoNDOoBo: Or it could be that the indigenous government refused to plan properly and make satisfactory preparations for the growing Lagos population. A similar thing has happened with other major Nigerian cities. Smh, instead of you to blame bad governance, you're here, blaming other ethnic groups for this situation. This is why Nigeria has never reached the standard it ought to be now. |

Ngozi123:Obviously u re not far from the truth. Lagos state government current plan is to de-congest lagos island and mainland by diverting the traffic to ikorodu and epe axis which will speed up development around there. Once the fourth mainland bridge is completed. People will start moving their to settle down |
