In our experiment to find a hopeful and&nbsp;sustainable way of coexistence, the continent of Africa offers a vast space of enquiry. In just 25 years, close to a billion additional people are expected to claim the hope that urban living offers in Africa. Such a mass of need creates a vast opportunity to reimagine new forms of urbanism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing the vastness and multidimensionality of Africa, the seminar will be a space of optimistic speculations on urban futures \u2013 a thought experiment based on discussions and projective exercises. By interrogating the practices of Architecture and Urban Design \u2013 through selected projects in Africa, the seminar also aims to sketch a Framework-of-Engagement that can help to ensure the relevance of architecture in the production of Hopeful-Urban-Futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Meeting: 22.04.2025, Bld. 11.40 Room 26<br>Submission\/Exam: 22.07.2025<br>Focus of study: Urban Design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cities are spaces of complex co-existence.
