This first book by celebrated Senegalese practice Worofila addresses the challenge facing the African city of today: to build in a way that is adapted to the lives of current inhabitants without compromising those of future generations. Drawing on abundant but often ignored precolonial methods and models of building, Worofila create bioclimatic architecture based around local, nonpolluting materials, ancestral knowledge, and democratic systems of construction and maintenance. Their work moves beyond the legacy of colonialera architecture, imposed from other cultures and climates and frequently illsuited, to recover and develop a sustainable African architectural language that reflects the continent's climate, ecology, and identity.
Ecosystems: A Contemporary African Architecture offers a survey of Worofila's prolific work to date, with detailed explorations of the research, ideas, and techniques that structure it. Texts on the histories of building in Senegal and the pre and postcolonial conditions of architecture on the African continent are accompanied by presentations of projects spanning housing, public buildings, infrastructure, landscapes, and experiments with materials. Together these propose a new typology of building in Senegal and inspire approaches to develop local and sustainable architectures across the world.
