In 1995, Italian architect Fabrizio Carola received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture for the Kaédi Hospital in Mauritania. This hospital, serving a rural population, was built developing innovative low-cost techniques of construction that employed local materials and skills. Such techniques, informed by traditional Mediterranean architecture and the Nubian compass, created a structural repertoire in the form of different kinds of domes, vaults, pod-shaped spaces and self-supporting pointed arches, forming winding circulation corridors. Please find below a film about Fabrizio Carola and this hospital produced by Duosegno Visual Design. This film is to be the first in a series of monographic documentaries on artistic and architectural research.
