Description
This first book by celebrated Senegalese practice Worofila addresses the challenge facing the African city of today: to build in a way that is adapted to the lives of current inhabitants without compromising those of future generations. Drawing on abundant but often ignored pre-colonial methods and models of building, Worofila create bioclimatic architecture based around local, non-polluting materials, ancestral knowledge, and democratic systems of construction and maintenance.
