The Arch Triangle was born from the vision of Pomanti Enweh Solomon, an architect born in Nigeria, then moved to Italy, and now finds himself in Germany. What follows is his story, in his own words.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Where It All Began\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

My life began in southeastern Nigeria, a land of deep heritage and ancient wisdom.<\/p>

The same soil that shaped Achebe, Adichie, and generations of storytellers before me. However, my path did not stay rooted. I was adopted into an Italian family, and later found purpose in Berlin, a city where history and hope live side by side.<\/p>

Each place gave me something. Nigeria taught me who I am. Italy showed me what beauty means. Germany sharpened my resolve to build systems that serve.<\/p>

That journey wasn\u2019t a straight line, but it taught me that borders are man-made, but unity is innate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Early Life<\/h3>\n \n

I was born into a family of nine children in southeastern Nigeria, where stories were the blueprints for how to live, lead, and remember. I grew up in a region where identity and narrative were deeply interwoven.\nLife shifted dramatically when I was adopted by an Italian couple. One day I was walking red earth roads; the next, I was sketching shapes beneath Renaissance ceilings. It wasn\u2019t always easy to belong in two places at once. However, that experience taught me to see the world in layers, rather than in fragments.\nI learned to honour where I came from without being confined by it. I learned that culture could be carried across borders, and that every displacement could plant the seed of connection. That\u2019s where the idea of building bridges first began, in the silent work of learning to belong to more than one world.\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n \n

Education & Professional Development<\/h3>\n \n

In Italy, I studied architecture at the University of Pescara, a place where form, function, and philosophy met. It was there I discovered that buildings are not mere structures. They are statements. They hold memory, shape identity, and silently influence how we move, live, and belong.\nWhile I immersed myself in architecture, I also studied literature, art, and theatre. I found the works of Dante, D\u2019Annunzio, and Michelangelo as calls to create with meaning. To think in structure, but feel in story.\nI expanded my skills beyond design studios, earning certifications in digital architecture, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and engineering. I pursued a diploma in art and theatre, because I believe emotion is a material, just as much as concrete or steel.\nThese diverse paths gave me much more than technical ability. They gave me language \u2013 visual, literary, and architectural \u2013 to express the deeper work I was called to do.\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n \n

Achievements & Recognition<\/h3>\n \n

My early work began where many stories do, on the margins. I built mud houses and chicken cages as a boy in Nigeria, not knowing I was laying the foundation for something far bigger. Today, I lead architectural projects across continents, but the principle remains the same \u2013 to solve real needs with integrity and intention.\nAs a certified BIM project manager, I\u2019ve worked on housing redevelopment initiatives across Italy, contributing to the Superbonus 110% programme \u2013 an ambitious national effort to reduce energy waste and revitalize communities through sustainable design. In Germany, I\u2019ve aligned urban development projects with integration goals set by the Berlin Senate, merging architecture with public policy.\nMy work has taken me beyond blueprints into boardrooms and forums, where I\u2019ve shared ideas alongside global voices like President John Mahama, Arunma Oteh, Chief Dele Momodu, and Helmut Kleebank. I\u2019ve spoken at Oxford and visited universities across Europe to advocate for inclusive design and culturally grounded architecture.\nWith every step forward, I\u2019ve been reminded that what we build matters, but why we build it matters even more.\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n \n

Social Impact\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

I believe architecture should do more than shape skylines. It should shape lives.<\/span><\/p>

That belief led me back to Nigeria. I co-founded PesArch Construction Company with a mission to create jobs for low-income youth and bring modern urban planning to cities long overlooked. Our first project was digitizing the urban landscape of Enugu and laying the foundation for its first comprehensive master plan. More than a technical upgrade, it was a step towards equitable growth.<\/span><\/p>

I\u2019ve always seen architecture as a combination of hard infrastructure and soft power. That\u2019s why our developments are circular. Mineral rights from Enugu help fund the Motherland Museum, and immigrant-run shops in Berlin sustain United Berlin. These are systems designed to empower.<\/span><\/p>

My advocacy extends beyond the drafting table. Through humanitarian forums and cultural exchanges, I\u2019ve championed architecture and literature as tools for reconciliation. Whether it's a stage in Italy, a seminar in Oxford, or a community meeting in Nigeria, the message is the same,\u00a0 dignity begins when people see themselves in the spaces around them.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Birth of the Arch\u2019Triangle\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

There\u2019s a shape in history that still casts a long, painful shadow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

I grew up moving between three worlds \u2013 Nigeria, Italy, and Germany. Everywhere I went, I kept encountering the same thing, invisible lines drawn by centuries of conquest, colonization, and migration. At the center of it all, this shape kept reappearing.<\/span><\/p>

A triangle.<\/span><\/p>

The transatlantic slave trade turned that shape into something horrific. A trade route linking Africa, Europe, and the Americas, built on human suffering, exploitation, and erasure.<\/span><\/p>

As an architect, and as someone who belongs to these regions in different ways, I couldn\u2019t ignore the symbolism. I felt called to respond with something visible, lasting, and rooted in meaning.<\/span><\/p>

The Arch\u2019Triangle was born out of that need.<\/b><\/span><\/p>

The need to take that same triangle and reclaim it. To turn it into a bridge instead of a wound. A symbol of what can happen when cultures connect through respect, collaboration, and a shared sense of humanity.<\/span><\/p>

This initiative is personal. It reflects my own journey of moving across borders while carrying a deep sense of home. It\u2019s my way of contributing to a future where the past is acknowledged, but no longer allowed to divide us.<\/span><\/p>

A future where architecture tells the truth, and then builds something better.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This Is the Moment to Act\n<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

What began as a personal journey to bridge the gaps I had felt in my own life \u2013 between my Nigerian and Italian identities, between the past and the present, between separation and unity \u2013 slowly grew into something much larger.<\/span><\/p>

I came to realize this mission wasn\u2019t just mine, it belongs to everyone who has ever felt the weight of disconnection, the longing for home, or the drive to build lasting change.<\/span><\/p>

The Arch\u2019Triangle is a call to reclaim what was lost and transform it into a new foundation for connection, dignity, and progress. Through architecture, storytelling, and social impact, we are creating spaces that help people connect, by bridging centuries-old gaps between continents, cultures, and generations.<\/span><\/p>

This is because when we connect, we heal, and when we heal, we thrive.<\/span><\/p>

If this vision speaks to you, whether as a partner, investor, policymaker, or global citizen, join us here and help bring it to life.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
