Download or read book African Spaces written by Jean-Paul Bourdier and published by Africana Pub.. This book was released on 1985 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diversity and complexity of African vernacular architecture remain widely unknown both to the general public and to architects. Yet Upper Volta (Burkino Faso) encompasses an astonishing variety of design principles and building techniques that belie the widespread image of the primitive hut so readily associated with rural Africa. This provides a convincing interpretation of the relationship between spatial organisation and daily activity in Gurunsi life.
