At CPDI Africa, we are dedicated to using heritage as a guiding marker to translate our analysis into innovative and thought-provoking design-build projects. Most design professionals have not been exposed to African culture in their respective academic institutions and workplaces. As a result, both our continental and diasporic communities inhabit spaces that truly don’t belong to them. To demystify and address this, CPDI Africa's academic platform, The Global Studio, will teach designers how to specialize and become experts in diverse African design languages.
The Global Studio faculty invite you to come to learn about our Session 2 Course Offerings on Saturday, March 27, 2021.
The virtual Open House will take place from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm (EST) / 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm (WAT).
The Global Studio is open to any race, religion or creed, and encourages collaboration between designers, artists, engineers, planners, and development professionals. We will also introduce the Country Ambassadors Program- a bridge to connect our students with distinguished organizations across the diaspora and the ongoing international activity that contributes to Africa's contemporary voice within the larger architectural discourse.

Whether you are a student, a design professional, or just an architecture/design enthusiast, there is a track for you at CPDI Africa. The only pre-requisite we request you bring is the acknowledgment that the catalog of African architecture deserves its own pedestal. We look forward to welcoming you to our exciting movement!
