The Kenyatta International Convention Centre rises over central Nairobi with a distinctive terracotta-colored facade and a thirty-two-story cylindrical tower. Completed in nineteen seventy-three, the complex was commissioned by Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of the Republic of Kenya, to serve as a landmark for a newly independent nation. The design was a collaboration between Norwegian architect Karl Henrik Nøstvik and David Mutiso, who served as the first indigenous Kenyan Chief Architect in the Ministry of Public Works.
