Colonial Architecture in Africa

Architecture

Colonial Reign in Africa is commonly associated with Slave Trade, Exploitation of the resources ,Racism and segregation of the indigenous people. Nevertheless, there are Few benefits and legacy hallmark in architecture that where left behind.Colonial Architecture is visible in part of Africa from Togo to Namibia. In my travels across some part of Africa , I have come Across some Breathtaking Architectural Sites like the Governors Palace in Lome Togo built by the colonial German ruler in 1884 and the Old navy School in Lome built in 1905.So many of these architecture sites are still structurally sound and have been in use for many year. colonialism in Africa was not all bad because it brought about ubanism and the structures built were made for good use.google images
