Excerpts:
Our contributors have chosen their top ten creative works of the decade, from artworks to albums, which we will publish on a daily basis.
Kahere Poultry Farming School Koliagbe by Heikkinen-Komonen Architects (Guinea, 2000)
This school, arranged around a traditional courtyard, was established to help improve the Guinean diet. The project received a prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2001. It is included here both for its architectural excellence and, more importantly, because it is crucial in today’s world to recognize buildings that significantly address basic human needs and matters of survival.
