Burkinabé Domesticity - Short Documentary

Burkina Faso is a special country; one that is characterized not by its economy or its nature, but by the people that inhabit it. Diversity is unequivocally Burkina Faso’s strong suite as difference takes place in co-existence. What makes this interesting for an architect is that the large variety of ethnic groups is paired with the creativity portrayed in the spatial environment.
Understanding the natural, cultural and social context in which Burkinabé citizens live will provide us with the tools to design better, more affordable and more culturally sensitive housing solutions. Comprehending their daily life is of high importance if the urbanizing population is to accept, apply, use and create new, more effective housing typologies.
This documentary shows the strength local architecture has and the inevitable change that the country is facing. Fusing both the vernacular and an African modernity offers viable solutions to the spatial development of the country’s urban growth.
I hope you enjoy it!

Burkinabe people have a lot of commonalities with the Filipino people of the Philippines. They like music and parties, big families and a lot more, but these two countries are on a different side of the world.

Tell your own stories. Don't Allow the European who compares their political agendas to yours. Let go of Colonial mindset; take back your homeland.
