Through the story of a mason in Djenne, Komusa Tenapo, this documentary examines the African tradition of mud architecture in Mali. The environmental genius of these ancient construction techniques—thick walls with tiny windows that keep the interiors cool despite the stifling heat—is expressed in strikingly beautiful designs that defines the town of Djenne.
Komusa is seen employing thousand-year-old construction techniques, plus secret knowledge he inherited from his family of masons, including religious rituals to protect homes and workers from evil spirits.

Africa is the fastest urbanising region in the world, and has become the focus of increasing attention from architects and planners, academics, development agencies and urban think-tanks. Professor Edgar Pieterse argues for a new way of thinking about African cities to accompany this surge of interest and to replace traditional views of African cities as sites of absence and neglect. Rapid urbanisation along with impressive economic growth rates for much of the Continent represents an interesting moment to take stock of how academic discourses capture and animate African urbanism.
ARCHIBUILT was the biggest annual forum for the exhibition of building materials and construction technology organized by the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA)
Since inception 21 years ago, Archibuilt has continued to provide a platform for key players in the building industry (from concept/design to construction, to finishing) to showcase innovations in their products and services that promote quality, safety, style and elegance in the built environment. It is thus very important that your esteemed organisation should stand up to be counted among Nigeria’s best in your chosen area of operation.
Participants and visitors to the event include the leading architects, builders, policy makers, town planners, and companies whose products/services impact the built environment directly or indirectly in Nigeria and West Africa. This year’s event will feature special participants and delegations form some key European and Asian countries. The City Renewal Programmes of many state governments is a major attraction and promises a pending boom in the Building Construction and Housing industry in Nigeria. Little wonder, this year, we are focusing on the very critical aspect of policy engineering in our workshop series.

What: Urban Africa by David Adjare
Where :Design Museum,London,UK
“David Adjaye has stepped out of his regular line of work to photograph and document key cities in Africa as part of an ongoing project to study new patterns of urbanism. This detailed survey reveals a unique snapshot of urban Africa today, documenting the nature of city life in a developing continent: a unique geo-cultural survey profiling the African city in a global context.”
An exciting new generation of African designers is making their mark in the discernig world of contemporary decor,using new forms, provocative textures, natural materials and rich colours.
These designers from Africa are pioneering new frontiers of creative expression. Their bold ideas are defining a captivating new aesthetic that captures the style and soul of contemporary Africa: imaginative, energetic, cosmopolitan, expressive, sensual, proud and principled. [Design Africa]
