28.5 x 23 cm. xxii,245 pp. Paperback. Profusely illustrated in b/w and colour.The vernacular architecture of African nomadism, this book asserts, offers a striking contrast to predominant practices of Western architecture that emphasize individuality, monumentality, and permanence. These responsive, transformable, mobile dwellings refigure architecture as a collective, ritual process in which artisanry and the arts merge with technology. [Flap]. – Good/fine copy
