[A]FA Tamale Territories focuses on inner city ‘peripheries’ in the capital of Ghana’s Northern Region. As with many territories in Ghana, these spaces are contested politically, functionally, and environmentally, making them an important focus point not only for our investigative project but also with relevance to the city and its inhabitants.

The New Guabuliga Market is a design and implementation project that has been emerging through [A]FA's engagement with the community of Guabuliga in northern Ghana since 2011.

East Legon Past Forward is a project investigating the spatial, socio-cultural, and migratory characteristics of Abotsiman, one of the few remaining grown neighborhoods of East Legon, Accra, and the implications of urban transformation on it.

[A]FA was tasked with responding to the long-term vision of the Nubuke Foundation, based in Accra and Wa, Ghana, by proposing new programs, scenarios, and physical manifestations on the site of the foundation in Wa. This task was approached in a two-part lab on site.

Immuna: Nanotourism was a speculative research project investigating the potential of soft tourism in Immuna, a fishing village located on the coast of  Ghana's Central Region that is suffering from environmental changes, unemployment and migration due to massive coastal erosion and challenges to the fishing industry.

Interdisciplinary seminar co-taught with the Department of Art Education in Textile Design (University of Applied Arts Vienna) and [Applied] Foreign Affairs. Students developed textile-based architectural strategies for wind and acoustic modulation within a bamboo dome performance venue in Apam, Ghana.

Graduate design studio focused on the adaptive reuse of garment production buildings in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia. Students proposed multifunctional designs that supported visibility, labour agency, and public engagement while responding to climatic and urban constraints.

This graduate design studio explored alternative approaches to the high-rise typology in Addis Ababa, responding to the city’s rapid vertical growth and its spatial, social, and climatic consequences. Rather than designing an extruded tower, students worked collectively to develop a monolithic urban volume—a structure that emerged from careful site analysis, urban vistas, and contextual responsiveness.
