Architecture vernaculaire -- Afrique
Résumé / Abstract : Paolo Cascone's CODESIGNLAB has researched spontaneous architecture and indigenous techniques in Africa, exploring their role in sustainable design amidst climatic challenges. The African Fabbers project, through paradigmatic projects and expert dialogue, fosters an itinerant educational platform promoting ecological design that combines digital with traditional crafting for community-focused architecture. Addressing the Western-African knowledge exchange gap, the project's experiences in Morocco, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon underscore the importance of African solutions to global issues. The resulting book serves as an Atlas, advocating a collective, practice--based, decolonized approach to architectural design and sustainable construction, enriched by Paolo Cascone's extensive dialogues with international experts.
