About AFRAUHN

The African Architectural and Urban History Network (AFRAUHN) aims to promote, support, develop and disseminate high-quality research about the architectural and urban history of the African continent and its diaspora.

As an inclusive research network, the African Architectural and Urban History Network (AFRAUHN) has been established to help develop these academic fields for the African continent as a whole, as well as among its diaspora. The aim is to steadily incorporate a broad range of African scholars, architects, urbanists within the network, and to engage with the subject by running a series of conferences and symposia, and by supporting research publications and other outputs.

The founding members of the AFRAUHN network are:

  • Professor Nnamdi Elleh, School of Architecture and Planning, Witwatersrand University (SA)

  • Professor Murray Fraser, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (UK)

  • Professor Ikem Stanley Okoye, Department of Art History, University of Delaware (USA)
