A network of African architecture schools was launched last week in Accra, Ghana, at a conference organized by ArchiAfrika in collaboration with the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
“The ArchiAfrika Educational Network aims at developing excellence among the next generation professionals in the African built environment. The parties agreed that strategies to address the challenges in the African built environment should be developed from within the continent, in a cross disciplinary and cross cultural dialogue, including the excelling contemporary architects of Africa in the activities.”
Through its web platform, ArchiAfrika has been actively promoting contemporary African architecture, and the formation of the network is another step forward in the growth of dialogue about architecture and urban development in Africa.
