From trouble spot to continent of the future? For demographic reasons alone, Africa will gain global political and economic importance in the coming decades. The development pressure is already enormous: In no other region of the world are cities subject to such dynamic growth processes - the demand for housing and infrastructure is accordingly immense. Against this background, it is also worthwhile for architecture students to pay more attention to this continent. In February 2023, a group of 19 students and teachers therefore set out for 16 days to explore (urban) structures of African cities and - building on the results of the chair's coworking research project - to analyze concepts for coworking spaces in Namibia. After a one-day stopover in Doha (Qatar), the first stop was Cape Town (South Africa) - where best practice examples for coworking spaces were examined. The trip continued by bus to Windhoek (Namibia). A highlight here was the one-week summer school with fellow students from the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST). Afterwards, a small round trip explored further Namibian cities as well as the fascinating nature of the country.
