Erste umfangreiche Monografie über die Architektur von Godwin und Hopwood Bilderreiche Publikation über eines der wichtigsten Architekturbüros für das post-koloniale, unabhängige Nigeria Aufschlußreiche Erkenntnisse für passive bauliche Kühltechniken

First comprehensive monograph about the tropical architecture of Godwin and Hopwood in Nigeria

After studying at the Architectural Association in London, John Godwin and Gillian Hopwood moved to Nigeria, where they significantly shaped the country''s architectural landscape for more than sixty years.

When Nigeria became independent in 1960 following British dominance since the 19th century, the couple worked to create architecture that was site-specific, modern, and adapted to the climate relevant to reinforce Nigeria''s aspirational political and economic policies.

In this richly illustrated monograph, organised by typology, Ben Tosland examines Godwin and Hopwood''s form of tropical modernism and illuminates its contemporary meanings, concluding with its relevance in times of climate crisis.

  • First comprehensive monograph about the architecture of Godwin and Hopwood
  • Image-rich publication on one of the most important architectural practices for post-colonial, independent Nigeria
  • Insightful findings for passive structural cooling techniques
