Here is another example of the great library recently opened in Africa. Having 140 square meters, the building was designed by BC Architects. The total budget was EUR 40,000.

The library was built with the local know-how and traditions of Muyinga in mind. It’s organized along a circulation space. This “hallway porch” is often a part of the Burundian traditional housing as it provides a shelter from heavy rains and harsh sun.
