FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Despite the growing interest in Africa, the continent's built environment is still largely unfamiliar in many parts of the world. The seven volumes of the Sub-Saharan Africa Architectural Guide form the first comprehensive overview of architecture south of the Sahara that does justice to the region's wealth of buildings. In 49 chapters, each focusing on one country, richly illustrated texts by more than 350 authors from Africa and across the globe come together to produce a superlative work. On the basis of 850 selected buildings and over 200 thematic articles, the continent's building culture is elucidated and contextualised. The diverse contributions paint a multifaceted picture of Africa's architecture in the twenty-first century, a discipline shaped by traditional and colonial roots as well as today's global interconnections and challenges. An introductory volume on the history and theory of African architecture provides essential background knowledge. Seven volumes in a slipcase: Vol. 1.

Review Quote "...a welcome addition to African architectural scholarship." "Compared to that of the West and East, awareness and knowledge of the architecture of sub-Saharan Africa--Africa south of the Sahara Desert--is scant. A new book intends to mitigate this oversight, and it's a significant accomplishment. Architectural Guide Sub-Saharan Africa (DOM publishers, 2021), edited by Philipp Meuser, Adil Dalbai, and Livingstone Mukasa, was more than six years in the making. The seven-volume guide presents architecture in the continent's 49 sub-Saharan nation-states, includes contributions by nearly 340 authors, 5,000 photos, more than 850 buildings, and 49 articles expressly devoted to theorizing African architecture in its social, economic, historical, and cultural context." --ArchDaily Details ISBN3869224002 Short Title SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Publisher Dom Publishers Language English ISBN-10 3869224002 ISBN-13 9783869224008 Media Book Format Paperback Pages 3200 Series Architectural Guide Subtitle Architectural Guide Edited by Dalbai, Adil Audience General/Trade DEWEY 720.967 Author Philipp Meuser Year 2021 Imprint DOM Publishers Place of Publication Berlin Country of Publication Germany Publication Date 2021-04-01 UK Release Date 2021-04-01 Illustrations 4,500 images; 4500 Illustrations, unspecified AU Release Date 2021-09-20 We've got thisAt The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.With fast shipping, low prices, friendly service and well over a million items - you're bound to find what you want, at a price you'll love! 30 DAY RETURN POLICYNo questions asked, 30 day returns!
