The Architecture Africa Initiative is a collaborative effort with the UF Center for African Studies and the College of Design Construction and Planning.
The goals of the collaboration are:
- To promote African Architecture, whether located on the continent, or designed by architects worldwide who identify themselves as African;
- To involve our professional students with the past, present, and future of African nations through research and design of the built environment;
- To connect UF to the global network of people with an active interest in studying and making architecture in Africa.
Coordinator:Â Associate Professor Donna Cohen (dcohen@ufl.edu)
The Architecture Africa Initiative has hosted lectures from prominent African architects, conducted workshops with faculty and students, supported faculty and student travel to Africa, and strengthened ties to Universities and professionals in Africa.
