ชีวประวัติ:

Kenneth Mackenzie Scott was born in 1918 in Sydney, Australia. He was the third of five of his Australian mother and Scottish father. He studied architecture at the University of Sydney and graduated in 1940. After working in Australia for a few years, he moved to England where he worked for the Ministry of Works. In 1947, he moved to Ghana and established the architectural firm Kenneth Scott Associates. He was a founding member of the Ghana Institute of Architects and served as both the institute's vice president and secretary from 1960 to 1970. He is arguably the most influential figure in Ghana's architectural space between the 1960s and 1970s, with almost all public structures marked by his genius. He is known for designing many impressive buildings in Ghana, like the official residence of President Kwame Nkrumah and others. He is not spoken about enough, yet he is the brain behind most public buildings still in use today. He created buildings around Ghana for education, culture, the military, sports, recreation, and health. He died in 1981.
