“Modern architecture in Africa” is one of the few Western studies of
modern African architecture. The architect Antoni Folkers calls into question
the moralistic, simplified Western Modernism that has become stranded in The
critique of the one-sidedness of Western architecture is not only theoretical,
but also assumes a practical form in the pluriform and multi-coloured
architecture of Africa. After studying at the TU Delft, Antoni Folkers went to
Africa in 1984 to become acquainted with the potential and limitations of
Modernism in a cultural context and links them with the history and development
of Africa.
