is a national platform connecting architecture professionals, students, and the Somali diaspora to strengthen education, heritage, and urban practice across Somalia. Founded at a pivotal moment in the country’s academic and urban transformation, SAPA was built by architecture students studying in fragile, rapidly rebuilding cities, supported and guided by practicing architects and educators. Through urban walks, research initiatives, conservation documentation, and public workshops, SAPA transforms learning into tangible impact, reconnecting a new generation with Somalia’s urban history while directly engaging with the planning and design challenges shaping its cities today.
