SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA ARCHITECTURAL GUIDE VOLUME 7...

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. Volume 7: Mozambique  Malawi  Zambia  Zimbabwe  Botswana  Namibia  Eswatini  Lesotho
