Building African Futures is a publication that presents ten essays by young architects, urban planners and activists that offer innovative solutions to big challenges, including housing shortages, informality, legal roadblocks and misunderstandings between architects, policy-makers and local people. Their ideas are grounded yet transformative.
The aesthetic choice of this publication was born from one of my experimentations with point clouds. I felt it useful for this project because the constitution of points to form an image is synonymous with community. It also connotes a futuristic ideal. This experiment was achieved using the Java-based software sketchbook called Processing.
