  • Press Release Capacity Building Workshop on The
    PRESS RELEASE CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP ON THE YAOUNDE ARCHITECTURE REGIONAL INFORMATION SHARING SYSTEM OPENS AT ECOWAS MULTINATIONAL MARITIME COORDINATION CENTRE, OSU CASTLE ACCRA. [Accra, 18 February 2021] The Director General, Ghana Maritime Authority, Mr Thomas Kofi Alonsi, in the presence of a number of dignitaries from the national and international maritime community and industry will open a two-week EU funded capacity building workshop on the Yaounde Architecture information sharing platform (YARIS) at the MMCC Zone F Headquarters, Osu Castle, and Accra on 18 February 2021. The Yaoundé Architecture (YA), desired by the Heads of State and Government of Central and West Africa, aims to organize maritime security operations in the Gulf of Guinea, thanks to 27 national or multinational centres that must coordinate with each other. This coordination underlies constant information sharing and reliable channels of communication. To meet this goal, a web-based platform has been developed in partnership between the GoGIN project and YA officials, with the European Union support. This platform, called YARIS (Yaoundé Architecture Regional Information System), is ready for operational deployment in the maritime centres. Ghana is the first country to benefit on tailored-made coaching for exploiting all the potentialities of YARIS. From 15 to 26 February, the staff of the ECOWAS Multinational Maritime Coordination Centre of zone F (MMCC / F) led by Commander Yussif Benning, will be mentored on YARIS by a pool of mixed trainers (GoGIN and YA centres). The coaching will also focus in the integration of YARIS in the organisation of the daily surveillance and the standard procedures in case of operations at sea.

Looking back, many years ago as a child,13 years old to be exact, growing up in a small rural city in Georgia I started to ask questions about cul- ture identity and my future. The superficialities and generalizations regarding cultural identity as a individual of African descent became a tangible part of my life. In a wood working class in middle school I experienced joy in discovering that the meaning of lines connecting and intersecting on a plane creates spaces. This was the first time I heard about the profession of architecture. However, joy and disappoint collided through social constructs and bound- aries of communal ecologies in which I lived that prevented me from pursuing my interest in architecture.

  • “Development of Traditional Architecture in Nigeria: a Case Study of Hausa House Form”
    International Journal of African Society Cultures and Traditions Vol.1, No.1, pp.61-74, June 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.ea-journals.org) “DEVELOPMENT OF TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE IN NIGERIA: A CASE STUDY OF HAUSA HOUSE FORM” Oluwagbemiga Paul Agboola*1 and Modi Sule Zango2 Department of Architecture Faculty of Built Environment Universiti Teknologi Malaysia 81310 UTM, Johor Bahru Malaysia ABSTRACT: Traditional buildings across Nigeria’s geographical zones are known to have demonstrated a thorough response to the climate, local technology and socio-economic milieu in which they evolved. The origin of these different traditional building body associates with the natural materials availability to the local builders as well as religious belief, cultural and taboos. The advent of colonialism in Nigeria changed the traditional life and culture of Nigerian which creates a weak connection between traditional architecture and contemporary architecture in Nigeria. Most recent buildings designs across Hausa regions in Nigeria have been built with imported materials and the construction techniques tailored to satisfy the modernity self-ego and aspirations. Thus, traditional architecture ought not to be abandoned and forgotten, hence; experts’ awareness should be tailored to the understanding of its original essence. This paper through intensive literature review of documents, journals, books, periodical, seminar papers amongst others critically explore the key importance relating to the development of Hausa traditional architecture. In addition, paper identifies the “determinant” and “moderating” factors as main issues that contributed to the development of Hausa traditional architecture, in cognizance of local materials, method of construction, methods lay- out, social, cultural factors, and environmental factors amongst others.

  • In My Father's House: Two Tales of Jewish Origin
    IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE: TWO TALES OF JEWISH ORIGIN AMONG THE GA-ADANGME OF ACCRA IN 2015 Dr. Daniel Lis ABSTRACT: In Accra, two houses represent two distinct places that portray memories of a Jewish origin. One of them is the stool house of the royal Nikolai family. On a mural the wanderings of the Ga- Adangme ancestors from Israel into West Africa is portrayed. The other house holds the burial place of Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Danish Jew who settled in Osu in 1836. In this article, I will compare the two narratives and reflect on how both contribute to a contemporary Jew- ish myth of the origin of the Ga-Adangme-speaking peoples of Ghana. In the hustle and bustle of Ghana’s capital city, Accra, two houses a few miles apart represent two distinct places that portray mem- ories of a Jewish or Hebrew/Israelite origin among the Ga- Adangme-speaking peoples. One of them, in Ussher Town, one of Accra’s oldest neighbour- hoods is the stool house of the royal Nikolai family of the Asere Division. On a mural in the courtyard of the compound, the wan- derings of the Ga-Adangme ancestor, Ayi Kushie, from Israel to Ethiopia and of Nikolai (Ni Koi Olai), the patriarch of the Asere, from Kush (Sudan) into West Africa in 1424 are portrayed. From there, one of his descendants, Nii Nikolai Ashaley I, led his peo- ple to the coastal area, where they settled at Ga Mashie, present- day Accra, in 1660. The other house, a 30-minute walk along the coast to the east on Castle Drive in Osu, Christiansborg (present-day Accra) and op- posite the old Danish cemetery, holds the burial place of Wulff Joseph Wulff, a Danish Jew who settled in Osu (present-day Ac- cra) in 1836.Through his relationship with a local woman, Wulff established the line of the Wulffs within Osu’s prominent fami- lies.
