This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. He hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.

The Kaédi Regional Hostpital in Kaédi, Mauritania by  L'Association pour Le Développement d'une Architecture et d'un Urbanisme Africain, Birahim Niang, and Fabrizio Carola [1989]. Serving a rural region near the Senegalese border, the hospital is the largest hospital in Southern Mauritania being well equipped with an ER, multiple operating rooms, a radiology department, and laboratories. This section of the hospital serves as an extension to a solid concrete facility. The concrete facility, thought to be more modern and thus efficient, was actually inefficient both in providing proper space and climate control. The extension provides 120 beds, an operating theatre complex, pediatric, surgical and ophthalmic departments, a maternity and general medical unit, a laundry, kitchens, storerooms, a garage, and a workshop. The building material is exclusively brick made of local clay and fired in a kiln on site. While not the regional vernacular, the style was introduced as a more efficient means to provide insulation and natural ventilation, while also allowing for natural light to enter the structure.
