The Architect Africa News Network(tm) aggregates Africa's built environment news streams on a real time basis to archive and then analyse the sum total of the data in order to identify trends; past present and future.

Architect Africa is a data analysis network. Analysis of data is a process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modelling data with the goal of highlighting useful information, suggesting conclusions, and supporting decision making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches, encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, in different business, science, and social science domains.

The AA Network focuses specifically on the African Built Environment. Everything (and anything!) related to Africa's development and built environment  activity that is published on the Internet (in English!) is sought out by AA Network web agents and connected to the AA Aggregator when it is found to produce useful data. The captured data is filtered through two integrity processes; one human driven and one automated. The latter is powered by the Open Calais semantic analysis network. The former is powered by AA Online Editors, who are all architects in Africa.

The AA Network is an information shaping tool used by decision makers to inform themselves. The information produced by the AA News Network is not scientific nor is it academic. It is purely a functional analysis of a particular sample of published data which may or may not be factual or accurate and will always be biased towards those entities that publish syndicated news feeds on the Internet.
