Marc Gossé : This meeting is an opportunity to help reinforce sustainable development in urbanism in Africa and to improve overall quality in contemporary architecture. It is a trigger to launch exchanges and build perspectives of networks, collaborations and projects “in Africa by and for Africans”.
Goals:
The long-term goals are threefold:
To strengthen and develop the network thanks to a stronger inter-universitary collaboration.
To organize yearly seminars/conferences on certain relevant themes such as technology, urban planning and urban crisis.
To produce a travelling exhibition of great contemporary African architecture, and an award so that there is a better diffusion of contemporary production in architecture.
