Architecture isn't all about the fanciness of modernist architecture - in some cases, mud bricks baked by the sun can suffice and make a bold statement in the barren and boring African village architecture - a proposed library to be built in the village of Gando, Burkina Faso in Africa was scheduled to be constructed in an effort to increase literacy and awareness of the outside world in the tiny village. It is part of a global campaign to help improve the standard of living in African nations through an increase in knowledge. This ovular building makes a statement in the otherwise squarish dominated excess of many traditional African villages - the pillars form nice shade for the children and adults to be able to enjoy some books. This particular design pays homage to traditional African architecture as well as serve as a functional place where kids can enjoy the latest books and enrich their knowledge.
Excuse you? Boring? And we need to raise our standard of living? Hhhhh we dont need anything except people like u to go away and stay out of our lives and stop trying to dictate what our standards should be. Your out of line with the entire universe...
