- Résumé : "WOROFILA Worofila Street: Building African Architecture" "The first book by Senegalese practice Worofila, bringing together their research processes and projects to suggest an approach to making in architecture in contemporary Africa This collection of critical texts and project presentations reflects on the legacy of colonialism in building practices in West Africa, and explores local pre-colonial histories to forge a contemporary bioclimatic and ecological architectural language Worofila are a celebrated emerging practice based in Dakar and headed by principals Nzinga B. Mboup and Nicolas Rondet, whose work has been widely exhibited and discussed" "This irst book by celebrated Senegalese practice Woroila addresses the challenge facing the African city of today: to build in a way that is adapted to the lives of cur- rent inhabitants without compromising those of future generations. Drawing on abundant but often ignored pre-colonial methods and models of building, Woroila create bioclimatic architecture based around local, non-polluting materials, ances- tral knowledge, and democratic systems of construction and maintenance. Their work moves beyond the legacy of colonial-era architecture, imposed from other cultures and climates and frequently ill-suited, to recover and develop a sustainable African architectural language that reflects the continent's climate, ecology, and identity. Worofila Street: Building African Architecture offers an overview of Woroila's proliic work to date, with detailed explorations of the research, ideas, and tech- niques that structure it. Texts on the histories of building in Senegal and the pre- and post-colonial 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 typol- ogy of building in Senegal and inspire approaches to develop local and sustainable architectures across the world." "WOROFILA are a Dakar-based architectural practice founded in 2019 and headed by Nzinga B. Mboup and Nicolas Rondet. Woroila specialises in bioclimatic architecture and construction using local materials such as raw earth and typha, with the aim of promoting an architecture that is durable and in harmony with the climate."
