This monograph surveys the architectural practice of Senegalese firm Worofila, focusing on their commitment to bioclimatic design within the context of contemporary African urbanism. By integrating ancestral building techniques with local, non-polluting materials, the firm develops infrastructure that addresses modern inhabitant needs while prioritizing long-term environmental sustainability. The volume documents a diverse range of projects, including housing and public institutions, to illustrate a vernacular modernism rooted in human and climatic ecosystems.
