Editor’s view
Current and connected... a new era in African design journals
Welcome to the first ever issue
of African Design Magazine!
In a nutshell we are a digital,
interactive magazine with a focus
on design and architecture on the
African continent.
On the first day of every month,
eleven times a year, we will
present you with an overview
of the news affecting Africa’s
designers, we will highlight the
architecture, sustainability and
design shows and expos from
around the world which are
worth attending, and we will also
showcase the latest and best in
both African and international
projects. With videos, links to
follow for more information
and further images, as well as a
design focused on embracing the
digital mediums of computers
and tablets, each issue of African
Design Magazine will be a truly
interactive experience.
Added to this, we will also feature
material related articles, present
the latest products from the
world’s top manufacturers and
explore multi-disciplinary angles
in our features, making it an
all-encompassing read for those
interested in all aspects of design.
We encourage reader
participation at African Design
Magazine – it is a vast continent
and we would be honoured
to feature your projects from
the tip of Africa to the top.
You can email us at gregg@
africandesignmagazine.com, or
through our website,
www.africandesignmagazine.com,
upload your project description
and images to share online with
others. It is interactive too, so
architects and designers from
across Africa – and the globe
– can share their thoughts on
your work, and you on theirs.
Let’s connect, let’s share and let’s
embrace our design talent in
Africa. AD
