International fair of Dakar

Outline
The French architect, selected through an international competition, designed an international exhibition center for the capital of Senegal. 10 meter square plan with a series of roof forms creates various repetitions of similar, but not identical, rhythms. The contrast between the massive exhibition space and the delicate details on a human scale creates a unique texture and expression, creating a new architectural language.
