南非沿海城市德班的一座博物馆在首届非洲建筑奖中被评为非洲最佳新建筑。

Umkhumbane文化遗产博物馆，由非洲当地的设计公司Choromanski Architects负责设计工作，该项目获得了首届非洲建筑奖的最高奖项，该奖项由Saint-Gobain建设集团建立，用于展示非洲最好的项目。

建筑位于非洲Cato Manor，这里是种族隔离时期的最大强制拆迁地区，建筑表皮上设置有充满特色的三角形孔洞，让阳光进入室内，从而形成斑驳的光影效果。

该项目的建筑师们获得了1万美元（约7500英镑），是作为该项目的奖励。

A museum in coastal South African city Durban has been named best new building in Africa, in the continent's inaugural architecture awards.
Umkhumbane Cultural and Heritage Museum, by local firm Choromanski Architects, was awarded the Grand Prix in the Africa Architecture Awards, the first Pan-African architecture awards programme, which was established by construction group Saint-Gobain to showcase Africa's best projects.
Located in Cato Manor, one of the largest forced removals during apartheid, the building features walls with triangular perforations, which bring dappled light into a grand atrium.
The architects were awarded $10 000 (approximately ￡7,500) in recognition of the project's merits.

首届非洲建筑奖于Thomas Heatherwick设计的Zeitz MOCAA当代艺术馆进行颁奖，这座艺术馆对于非洲艺术来说非常重要。

英国建筑师David Adjaye认为这个奖项“至关重要”，能够促进当代优秀建筑作品的诞生。

“现在正是推动当地的优秀建筑作品诞生的时候。”Adjaye说。

“非洲建筑奖尤其重要，就当前的建筑界而言，非洲大陆的发展正在极速前进。”

该奖项也作为非洲建筑发展的证明，在作品征集过程中，评委会收到了来自32个国家的307个设计项目，远远超过了原来预期的20个国家以及150个设计项目。

“我们看到了在非洲大陆工作的建筑师的巨大热情。”Saint Gobain经理人Evan Lockhart Barker说。

The inaugural Africa Architecture Awards took place at the Thomas Heatherwick-designed Zeitz MOCAA – a building set to become the world's most important exhibition space for African art.
As patron for the awards, British architect David Adjaye described the programme as "very critical" in recognising the emergence of architecturally significant projects on the continent.
"Now is the time to promote excellence and best practice on the continent," said Adjaye.
"The Africa Architecture Awards are particularly important because this is the moment that a lot is happening on the continent in terms of development, in terms of the architecture that's being produced."
As a testament to this growth, the awards received entries from 307 projects across 32 African countries, far outstripping the original expectations of 150 entries from 20 African countries.
"We've seen the incredible response from architects working across the continent," said Saint Gobain managing director Evan Lockhart-Barker.


南非约翰内斯堡大学学生Aisha Balde获得最佳概念项目，获奖作品是“佛得角移民站”／University of Johannesburg student Aisha Balde received the prize for best conceptual project with a vision of pitstops for immigrants on Cabo Verde

来自非洲的建筑师和学者组成了本次竞赛的评审团，Mark Olweny是评审团的负责人，其他成员由来自尼日利亚的Anna Abengowe、来自Côte d'Ivoire 的Guillaume Koffi、来自佛得角的Patti Anahory、Tanzeem Razak，以及来自南非的Edgar Pieterse和Phill Mashabane。

获奖作品分为四类，其中有概念设计、创新才能设计、已建成的项目，以及对建筑进行批判性思考的设计作品。

南非约翰内斯堡大学学生Aisha Balde击败其他90位竞争对手，获得概念设计奖。

Balde的作品是“Territory in-between”，这是一个佛得角移民站的设计项目，其中的功能包括火葬场、浴室、渔场以及海水淡化区。

Winners were selected by a jury of architects and academics based across Africa. Chaired by Mark Olweny, it included Anna Abengowe from Nigeria, Guillaume Koffi from Côte d'Ivoire, Patti Anahory from Cape Verde, and Tanzeem Razak, Edgar Pieterse and Phill Mashabane who are all from South Africa.
Winners were also announced in four categories, recognising conceptual design, emerging talent, built work, as well as projects that engage in critical thinking about architecture.
University of Johannesburg architecture student Aisha Balde beat 90 other competitors to gain the Speculative award for conceptual design.
Called the Territory in-between, Balde's project imagines a pitstop for immigrants arriving on Cabo Verde, an archipelago off Africa, including a crematorium, a bathhouse, a fish farm and a desalination buoy.


Ogundare Olawale Israel获得了创新才能设计奖，他研究了约翰内斯堡的经济场所／Ogundare Olawale Israel was given the Emerging Talent for a study on economic enclaves in Johannesburg

约翰内斯堡大学的学生Ogundare Olawale Israel获得了创新才能设计奖，其项目名称是“Trading Passports for Hyper-Performative Economic Enclaves”，这是一个针对约翰内斯堡市经济体的项目。

建筑师通过图表的形式，来表达每个地方的肤色、宗教、服饰、食物和语言。

奖项“Critical Dialogue”将于每年十月在南非首都罗安达举行的“建筑论坛”上颁布，这项活动每年一次，都在安哥拉举行。

2006年由建筑部门成立的安哥拉Lusíada大学目前正在飞速发展中，它时常举办各项活动，其中包括会议、工作坊、展览和音乐会。

公众可以参与“People's Choice Award”奖项得主的选举投票，位于拉各斯的公司James Cubitt Architects的概念设计最受公众喜爱，他们的设计项目是位于尼日利亚的城市拉各斯的环保办公大楼。

这栋所谓的银行总部大楼十分独特，建筑师设计了超薄的塔身和玻璃幕墙立面，从而充分地利用自然光线。

在建筑内部，墙体旁侧的种植槽线内的绿色植物为人们提供树荫，从而遮蔽强烈的日光照射，而光传感器能够按照需求开启或关闭灯光，从而减少能源消耗。

University of Johannesburg architecture student, Ogundare Olawale Israel was given the Emerging Talent prize for The Exchange Consulate: Trading Passports for Hyper-Performative Economic Enclaves – a project investigating the economic enclaves in Johannesburg city.
It charts skin tone, religion, dress, food and language for each of these places.
The prize for Critical Dialogue went to Architecture Forum, an annual event that takes place each October in Luanda, the capital city of South African nation Angola.
Established in 2006 by the architecture department at the Lusíada University of Angola, it has since grown to include international architecture departments in activities including conferences, workshops, exhibitions and music concerts.
Members of the public were invited to vote for the winner of the People's Choice Award. Lagos-based firm James Cubitt Architects's conceptual design for an environmentally responsible office block in Nigerian city Lagos was picked as favourite.
Named Bank Head Office, the slim tower is designed with glazed walls to make the most of natural daylight.
Inside, planters would line the inside of the walls to offer shade, while light sensors will dim or turn-off the artificial lights inside to reduce energy consumption.
