Applications Open: 2025 African Design Centre Fellowship for Aspiring Architects & Designers

African Design Centre Fellowship 2025 Relaunches for Emerging Built-Environment Leaders Across Africa
The African Design Centre (ADC), a flagship program of MASS Design Group, has relaunched its prestigious ADC Fellowship with renewed support from the Mellon Foundation and the Cravens Foundation. This fully funded, 12-month hands-on residency invites talented built-environment professionals from across Africa to apply for the 2025/2026 cohort, based in Kigali, Rwanda.
The program is designed to mentor and equip a new generation of African designers dedicated to socially impactful, culturally grounded, and environmentally responsible architecture.
About the African Design Centre
Housed within MASS Design Group, the African Design Centre is committed to turning architectural insight into enduring change. Through research, project implementation, and systems-level training, the Centre reimagines African design as a tool for inclusive development.
Its mission is driven by three core pillars:
-
Research: Investigating how poor spatial design contributes to inequality in health, education, climate resilience, and development—and proposing localized solutions.
-
Catalyst Projects: Delivering scalable, community-led projects—from maternal care facilities to schools—that reflect Africa’s design identity.
-
Systems Change: Training Africa’s future design leaders through the Fellowship and mentorship initiatives.
About the Fellowship
The ADC Fellowship is a 12-month, paid residency for African nationals under 35, focused on creating community-centered infrastructure solutions while honoring indigenous design traditions. Fellows will work directly on projects that tackle pressing regional challenges.
Key Focus Areas:
-
Maternal & Newborn Health: Designing dignified and supportive health spaces that improve well-being from birth onward.
-
Expanding Opportunities: Building environments that fuel education, innovation, and local enterprise.
-
Climate-Positive Design: Advancing ecologically sustainable architecture that allows people and nature to thrive in harmony.
What Fellows Will Do
During the residency, Fellows will:
-
Conduct in-depth research on African architecture, cultural heritage, and development patterns.
-
Participate in pilot projects that address urgent community needs.
-
Share knowledge through published reflections that influence local and global design thinking.
Fellows will receive:
-
Full support and mentorship from MASS Design Group professionals.
-
Competitive monthly stipend and relocation support.
-
Professional development and access to ADC’s design ecosystem.
After the Kigali residency (Sept 2025–Aug 2026), Fellows will continue with a year-long remote mentorship (Sept 2026–Aug 2027), with opportunities for independent research funding and global exposure.
