A complete overview of architecture in fifty-three African
cities, seen through the eyes and images of one of the worlds leading
young architects
Educated in England, David Adjayes
lifelong dream was to return to Africa as an architect to document the
continents built environment. Over a decade, he tirelessly documented
these dynamic, colorful cities, photographing thousands of buildings,
sites, and public spaces, and letting each building speak for itself.
The result was a stunning seven-volume work that has become an essential
resource for all those interested in the burgeoning continent.
The
fifty-three cities featured in this remarkable study are grouped
according to the terrain in which they are set: the Maghreb (north
Africa); Desert; Sahel (the semi-arid transitional region between the
Sahara and the south); Forest; Savannah and Grassland; and Mountain and
Highveld. Each metropolis is illuminated by a concise urban history,
maps, and satellite imagery, along with the dozens of photographs Adjaye
has taken with an architects eye. This compact edition selects the
highlights from over 4,000 buildings and places captured for the initial
seven-volume work. The result is one of the most original, ambitious,
and important architectural publications of our time.
