Publisher's Synopsis

Where a term like 'Western architecture' is likely to conjure a gamut of specific examples ranging from the Colosseum to the Empire State Building, 'African architecture' - whether ancient or modern - still connotes very little for a general audience in the West. This opulently illustrated volume, with informative texts by the architectural historian Andres Lepik and documentation of models and maps, examines a broad range of examples of contemporary architecture in Africa.
