Session Theme: Exploring African Architecture and Urbanism in Eastern Asia ─ Bridging Local and Scientific Knowledge for Social Justice
Architecture and urban research and practice in Africa emphasizes the fusion of local and scientific knowledge, aiming to solve social problems. This approach has gained recognition, exemplified by Francis Kéré, the first African architect to win the Pritzker Prize Award. This trend encompasses various fields such as design, construction, planning, and heritage preservation. In Africa, the interaction between local and scientific knowledge is pronounced, driven by social justice. This project seeks to discuss this interaction in architecture and urban spaces for social justice, fostering a learning relationship between East Asia and Africa to gain new insights into architecture and urbanism.
