Pier Luigi Nervi in Africa - Unknown Geographies

Micaela Antonucci and Gabriele Neri's book offers for the first time an overview of the projects that Pier Luigi Nervi's Italian engineering office designed and built in post-colonial African countries between 1964 and 1980. Through the detailed description of some major works, the text shows how the Nervi System gradually became a stylistic language, leaving behind the relationship between architectural and structural forms that had characterized Nervi's well-known projects. The most iconic building is probably the Good Hope Centre.
