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?

Architectural Guide: Sub-Saharan Africa presents the first comprehensive overview that shows the region’s architecture in all its vast diversity. Each chapter focuses on one country, with detailed texts and illuminating photos documenting the wealth of architecture south of the Sahara. This extensive publication not only showcases but also contextualises the continent’s building culture.
