内容説明
Originally part
of a set, now sold separately, Volume 2 of Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural
Guide is dedicated to Western Africa, from the
Atlantic Ocean to the Sahel and includes Cabo Verde, The Gambia, Senegal,
Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
Africa is considered the continent of the
future. Nowhere else is urbanisation taking place more quickly and the
population growing more rapidly. But are enough of us familiar with the
architectural aspects of this change?
The seven volumes of Architectural Guide
Sub-Saharan Africa present the first comprehensive overview that shows the
region's architecture in all its vast diversity. In 49 chapters, each focusing
on one country, detailed texts and illuminating photos document the wealth of
architecture south of the Sahara. Featuring 850 selected buildings and over 200
articles, the extensive publication not only showcases but also contextualises
the continent's building culture.
This set of books paints a multifaceted
picture of sub-Saharan Africa's architecture across time, revealing how
contemporary architecture has been shaped by its traditional and colonial roots
as well as globalisation and urbanisation. The diverse contributions by almost
350 African and international authors come together to produce a superlative
work giving the region the attention it so rightfully deserves.
