Africa independent : a survey of political developments.
Part of Expo 67 Collection
Aerial view of the roofscape of the Africa Place Pavilions (lot C-462). Housing exhibits from 15 African countries (Niger, Ivory Coast, Upper Volta, Cameroun, Chad, Dahomey, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Gabon, Senegal, Togo, Kenya, Madagascar and Uganda, lots C-462 and C-463), a natural flow pattern was a fundamental design intention. Each pavilion cluster was formally related to and spatially dependent on its neighbour. A natural ventilation system in the roof design added an underlying consistency to the roof forms. Sharp edged triangular roofscape on a modular grid system. Terracotta tile with reinforced concrete. (S: 320' x 320' (over all irregular shapes) --- A: 50,000 sq. ft. (per floor) --- H: 40')
