Lecture 4: Accra and Kumasi: Architecture and Decolonization


Please note that all six lectures will take place in-person only, and the lectures will not be recorded.

After the election of Kwame Nkrumah as president of the Republic of Ghana in 1960, Ghanaian architects explored new building models that were both modern and culturally sensitive, alongside foreign architects attracted to the vibrant cosmopolitan environment.
