MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN AFRICA - ANTONI S FOLKER...

This book offers unique insights into modern African architecture  influenced by modern
European architecture  and at the same time a natural successor to existing site-specific and
traditional architecture. It brings together the worlds of traditional site-specific
architecture with the Modernist Project in Africa  which to date have only been considered in
isolation.The book covers the four architectural disciplines: urban planning  building
technology  building physics  and conservation. It includes an introduction with a historical
outline and an analysis and comparison of a number of projects in various countries in Africa.
On the basis of examples drawn from practice  the author documents and describes the hybrid
architectural forms that have emerged from the confrontation and fusion with (pre)modern
Western architecture and urban planning  and in so doing he also narrates the history of
African architecture.
