The Community Planning & Design Initiative Africa (CPDI Africa) Promotes the Development of New Architectural Languages for the African Diaspora that are Culturally and Environmentally Sustainable. The CPDI Africa Global Studio for African Centered Architecture (GSACA) seeks to fast track the evolution and transformation of the Pan African built environment through education, training architects to become expert scientists, designers, activists and human-focused problem solvers in their local and global communities. The Studio courses teach design philosophies not found in traditional architecture education, for integration in project development, academic research, and policy making. We are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, reconnecting the allied professions of art, architecture, design, planning, history, real estate and construction.
