Theorising Architecture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Perspectives, Questions, and Concepts
Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)
Considering the immense diversity of sub-Saharan Africa's architecture and built realities, does it make sense to speak of an African architecture? How does this differ from architecture in Africa?

Searching for new ways to theorise sub-Saharan African architecture, this collection of 49 essays broadens and develops the discourse around the architecture of a very rapidly changing continent.

All with the aim of critically examining and advancing theoretical reflection on African architectures, both on the continent and globally.weiterlesen
