Originally part of a set, now sold separately, Volume 6 of
Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide is dedicated to Central
Africa, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes and includes
Central African Republic, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and
Principe, Gabon, Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville), Democratic
Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa), and Angola. 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.
