Targets

ArchiAfrika attempts to put African architecture on the map and contributes to the understanding and development of African architecture.
The long-term aim is to establish a platform for the exchange of knowledge and information on activities, projects and architectural heritage in Africa. The target group consists of architects, urban planners, teachers and students on Architecture and cultural and governmental institutions. This group is invited to actively participate in the above platform and, in so doing, to jointly achieve the aim.

We expect that the increased appreciation of African architecture will, in turn, contribute to the theoretical debate and the development of western architecture. We hope that knowledge of and respect for African Architecture will encourage the African continent to be proud of its own culture and that the value of its heritage will become a tool for its own, independent future.
