African projects

Salvatore Fiume was a great lover of Africa and its iconography, and was on the point of carrying out some architectural projects in Guinea. In the projects designed for that continent, Fiume created architectures in which he revisited some typically African icons, such as the wooden mask in the shape of a crocodile's head, the hut, the half-moon. Through a series of drawings and architectural models he paid homage to a land he greatly loved.

"Horizontal" skyscrapers
This project was conceived as a proposal for an African city where plenty of space would be available on the ground level while
the shadow created by the huge aerial surfaces would help keep
ground temperatures cooler.
