Abstract:
This book outlines the use of earth or mud by the Hausa of West Africa. The author looks at the evolution of settlement from the emergence of the Hausa States to the effects of rapid urbanization and development since 1960. He considers the morphology of the Hausa settlements and their development within the walls of historic cities and he analyzes the relationship between the main elements of the city : market, mosque and palace. (Adapté du résumé de l'éditeur).
