Rebuilding & Celebrating African Indigenous Architecture

We are a community that is passionate about preserving, celebrating and rebuilding indigenous African Architecture. We do this by creating a community that creates a space for indigenous communities to network through travel and exchange ideas about their indigenous architecture. We have also created an open forum to build a community where people can openly chat about different topics that are relevant to indigenous African architecture. In addition to this, we understand how valueable it is to invest in research, digitization of our indigenous knowledge and promote knowledge sharing, thats why we are investing in 4 key resource hubs.
