Architecture, Tools & People
contributor: Rob Goodier, Charles Newman
The architect Charles Newman has spent the last several years wandering Central and East Africa building and renovating schools, libraries, kitchens and other structures, often with a camera in hand. He has shared this collection of his photos of architecture and construction, tools, crafts and people from Kenya to Congo.
