Конкурс призван отметить архитектурную самобытность Африки и африканских народов. Задание – создать общественный культурный центр, в котором воплотились бы культурные и архитектурные традиции континента, который мог бы стать своего рода наглядным пособием по африканской архитектуре.

The CPDI Africa 2021 competition calls for design entries of prototypes for a contemporary Cultural Center inspired by architecture of the African Diaspora.
To design prototypes of African centered or inspired architecture that reflects the culture, aesthetics and sustainability for community design and development in today’s Africa, research must accompany the design. The links between research and design are achieved in three categories:
Culture-Lifestyle (floor plan & functionality)
Aesthetics (finishing & furnishing)
Sustainability (materials, climate & cost)
Participants of the CPDI Africa design competition must first conduct research into the traditional architecture of their selected ethnic groups to understand the impact of climate, lifestyle, social norms, cultural philosophies and spiritual beliefs on space utilization and location within the community.
