Africa’s amazing architecture: Do these buildings represent freedom?

At least, that’s how Manuel Herz sees it. An architect and historian, Herz has recently curated an exhibition on the subject for the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The exhibit, titled “Architecture of Independence: African Modernism” focuses on some of the most dynamic projects built in the wake of colonialism.

“Some of these buildings are really the most interesting and fascinating that were built in that era worldwide, but they have completely fallen off the radar,” he laments.
