Organised by Architecture-Studio, the competition and exhibition entitled Young Architects in Africa aim to showcase architectural creativity in Africa by turning the spotlight on a young generation of architects that shows great promise from an international perspective. The exhibition focuses on the environmental and participative nature of the projects, which represent the social and community values embodied by young architects in Africa.
The exhibition presents sixteen projects devoted to everyday use (public space, school, house, market, etc.) An international jury has selected three winners, nine nominees and four special mentions from a total of 194 projects entered by participants from 26 African countries living not only in Africa but also the US, Canada, Brazil, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Tunisia and China.
The exhibition is being held in the main gallery at arc en rêve, with large photographs and screen projections giving visitors the opportunity to discover the work and approaches of the teams selected by the Young Architects in Africa jury.
