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.
