"...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
