Senegalese Architecture

AMKNA, the Dubai-based studio, has been shortlisted for the 2018 World Architecture Festival, in recognition of their design proposal of a cultural center in Sedhiou, Senegal. The proposed “Sedhiou Cultural Center” will provide citizens with a rich cultural, social, and educational experience, all while sustaining the surrounding environment and keeping African heritage alive.

Manuel Herz has been chosen to design the expansion of the Tambacounda Hospital in rural Senegal, conceived and funded by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and American Friends of Le Korsa.

Clay bricks and community involvement led to this circular chapel proposal by Sean Cassidy and Joe Wilson, which won 3rd prize in the Kaira Looro competition for a multi-faith worship space in Tanaf, Senegal.
