The 2017 Africa Architecture Awards seek to acknowledge standout architectural projects that have been conceived of and/or built on the African continent, and invite entries and nominations from the industry. Anyone in the world meeting the entry criteria can enter, or be entered into the awards, as long as the project pertains to Africa. “Saint-Gobain very simply wants to be the catalyst that brings African architecture and its diaspora into the global conversation, in response to the clear need for such dialogue,” explains Evan Lockhart-Barker, the Managing Director of the Saint-Gobain Retail Business Development Initiative. “The Africa Architecture Awards,“ he continues, “have been established to highlight the continent‘s innovative and collaborative style of solving problems &#8211; architectural or otherwise.

This is the first time a comprehensive and meaningful collection from the continent has been available to purchase in London. The exhibition that opens on 31 October, and culminates in an auction on 3 November, offers an opportunity for international collectors to access African collectible design. “This is the first time Southern Guild has shown a collection of such significance in collaboration with one of the most important auction houses in the world,” says Trevyn McGowan, co-founder of Southern Guild with her husband Julian. “The collaboration is a unique moment for us, but it’s also the first time our British and international audience can access the products from our ground-breaking African designers in London,” she says.
