African Spaces: Designs for Living in Upper Volta

By Trinh T. Minh-ha and Jean-Paul Bourdier

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 work provides an interpretation of the relationship between spatial organisation and daily activity in Gurunsi life.
