The Pan-African Biennale (PAB) is a continental platform dedicated to documenting, preserving, and projecting Africa's built environment, urbanism, and creative futures— across all 54 nations and the diaspora.

Call to Makers showcases original furniture created through reuse, upcycling, and inventive craftsmanship by the inaugural cohort of CO Architects' Furniture Design Workshop. Over the course of nine months, individuals and teams designed and fabricated one-of-a-kind pieces using reclaimed, salvaged, and repurposed materials. Ranging in scale from footstools to dining tables, the work explores the creative potential of material intelligence, low-cost fabrication, and hands-on making. The exhibition celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, collaboration, and CO Architects' culture of making.

The 21st-century agenda requires addressing a set of structural changes resulting from the development model that, at least since the beginning of the last century, we have maintained as a society and region. This is evident in our cities and rural areas, where conditions associated with poverty, inequality, violence, displacement, and climate change—to name a few—generate intense pressures, imbalances, and maldevelopment in the dynamics of social occupation and vacancy across much of our territory. We are interested in focusing on a spatial process framed within these dynamics: migration.

The course presents an overview of traditional, modern, and contemporary Japanese architectural production across four independent yet complementary modules. Drawing on cultural and historical contexts, the course analyzes the work of prominent Japanese architects from the 1930s to the present day. It also explores symbolic spatial and temporal relationships grounded in aesthetic principles such as ma, basara, wabi-sabi, yûgen, and mono no aware, among others. The goal is to broaden the repertoire regarding Japanese architecture and culture, offering exposure to new perspectives through lecture-based sessions.
