   |  |ersations and paradigmatic pro-
   |  |jects conceived as an adaptive-
   |  | platform on synthetic-vernacu-
   |  |lar architecture in Africa and-
   |  | its potential role as cultura-
   |  |l driver for global scenarios.-
   |  | ＜br /＞                     ＜b-
   |  |r /＞                      Base-
   |  |d on almost ten years of appli-
   |  |ed research of Paolo Cascone a-
   |  |nd his CODESIGNLAB practice in-
   |  | Africa, the book investigates-
   |  | the potential role of indigen-
   |  |ous and spontaneous architectu-
   |  |re in the contemporary debate -
   |  |on sustainability in architect-
   |  |ural design. How to respond to-
   |  | climatic changes reconciling -
   |  |nature with tekné? What is the-
   |  | social role of technology? Ho-
   |  |w architects would reconsider -
   |  |their practices supporting com-
   |  |munity-oriented projects? Thes-
   |  |e questions are discussed thro-
   |  |ugh a number of paradigmatic p-
   |  |rojects and conversations betw-
   |  |een the author and a panel of -
   |  |experts from different backgro-
   |  |unds in order to shape an inte-
   |  |rdisciplinary approach that br-
   |  |idges different knowledges. ＜b-
   |  |r /＞                     ＜br /-
   |  |＞                      The the-
   |  |oretical assumption for this i-
   |  |nvestigation is based on the o-
   |  |bservation of cause-effect rel-
   |  |ations, between different urba-
   |  |n and architectural configurat-
   |  |ions and their performances: s-
   |  |ocial, environmental, structur-
   |  |al etc. in both pre-colonial a-
   |  |nd informal cultures around Af-
   |  |rica. The diachronic approach -
   |  |intends to generate, after man-
   |  |y years of post-colonial studi-
   |  |es, an operative agenda of pos-
   |  |sible strategies, which is in -
   |  |accordance with different cont-
   |  |extual conditions starting fro-
   |  |m the anthropological and the -
   |  |climatic ones. ＜br /＞         -
   |  |            ＜br /＞            -
   |  |         Such an agenda respon-
   |  |ds to a global cultural need f-
   |  |or an ecological shift in the -
   |  |contemporary design and manufa-
   |  |cturing processes, which shoul-
   |  |d bridge high and low-tech cul-
   |  |tures. Therefore, the book is -
   |  |conceived also as a sort of ma-
   |  |nual that is articulated aroun-
   |  |d emergent principles inspired-
   |  | by traditional and informal A-
   |  |frican practices and architect-
   |  |ures: self-similarity and dive-
   |  |rsified typologies, material o-
   |  |ptimisation and circular econo-
   |  |my, self-sufficiency and respo-
   |  |nsive dwellings. Each principl-
   |  |e is confronted also with the -
   |  |work of pioneers such as Hassa-
   |  |n Fathy, Fabrizio Carola etc. -
   |  |with the aim of sharing and ev-
   |  |olving such tremendous heritag-
   |  |e by introducing the case stud-
   |  |ies realized in the frame of t-
   |  |he [[]AF] African Fabbers proj-
   |  |ect over the last decade. ＜br -

   |  |                    The [[]AF]-
   |  | project has been developed in-
   |  | the last decade as a research-
   |  | platform and an itinerant sch-
   |  |ool for training programmes an-
   |  |d community-oriented initiativ-
   |  |es that bridges digital and tr-
   |  |aditional manufacturing for su-
   |  |stainable living. This approac-
   |  |h responds to the lack of scho-
   |  |ols of architecture in the reg-
   |  |ion, despite the economic grow-
   |  |th of these countries and thei-
   |  |r need for social housing and -
   |  |basic infrastructures. For thi-
   |  |s reason, the book aims at dec-
   |  |lining such on-site experience-
   |  | and its theoretical backgroun-
   |  |d into a decolonised approach -
   |  |to architectural education. Th-
   |  |is drives to the conclusion th-
   |  |at we should probably start to-
   |  | take into serious considerati-
   |  |on African solutions for globa-
   |  |l problems.With Contributions -
