Projects

AFRICAN PERSPECTIVES 2009 (25 - 28 September, Pretoria), the third international conference in the series to be hosted in Africa, will focus on the unique and diverse character of the African City as resource, as well as resourcing the city.

The project consisted of cataloguing and documenting all relevant modern buildings and projects in Tanzania that were realized in the period around independence (1950-1970).

As a follow-up to the Modern Architecture in Tanzania around Independence project, ArchiAfrika has developed a documentary on Modern Architecture in Tanzania. The Dutch architect and film maker Jord den Hollander made the documentary. The medium of film offers the possibility to inform a broader public in Africa and Europe about a fascinating period in their common architectural history.

From 6 to 8 December 2007, ArchiAfrika organized the event African Perspectives in cooperation with the University of Technology in Delft, the Netherlands.

From 05 to 08 January 2007, the Department of Architecture of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, in association with The Ghana Institute of Architects, hosted the conference African Architecture Today.

The envisaged documentation centre is one of the pillars of the ArchiAfrika Foundation’s broad aims: to present a platform for exchange of information, experiences and knowledge in the field of African Architecture.

The Mtoni Palace Publication is part of the larger Mtoni Conservation Project, which was originated by the Department of Archives, Museums and Antiquities of Zanzibar and Mtoni Marine Center in order to safeguard the conservation of Mtoni Palace. The above parties asked ArchiAfrika to coordinate and execute part of their project, namely the editing of a publication on Mtoni Palace.
