The search engine Searching African Architecture aims to locate information on African architecture, within institutes, organisations and digital resources all over the world. By locating the information and making it digitally available if possible, we aim to contribute to the knowledge of, and interest for African architecture.
Searching African Architecture is a starting point for anyone wanting to know more about African Architecture. It offers a great variety of information, from self-made pictures to scientific publications. With a clear and accessible structure it gives anyone the opportunity to search for their own specific type of information, whether this is for scientific purposes or just for pleasure.
The target group consists of architects, urban planners, teachers and students on Architecture, cultural and governmental institutions in Africa as well as in the rest of the world. But at the same time, it consists of tourists, travellers, and anyone else interested in Africa. The entire target group is invited to actively participate on the above platform and doing so to jointly achieve the aim.
Searching African Architecture is jointly developed by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi (Ghana), the Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo (Mozambique), the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg (South-Africa), the University of Pretoria (South-Africa) and ArchiAfrika (Netherlands).
