About
The Africa Union of Architects (AUA), inaugurated in Nigeria on 23 May 1981, is a pan-African professional association bringing together national architects’ organisations. It promotes collaboration, architectural education, ethical practice, research, cultural heritage, and more sustainable buildings and settlements. Working through regional structures and specialised commissions, the union addresses housing, the environment, professional development and the exchange of architectural knowledge. The AUA also encourages cooperation among African practitioners and institutions, strengthening the contribution of architecture to the continent’s social and urban development.
