Courtyard of the National Assembly of
Benin. Rendered by Kéré Architecture.
The trunk is hollow, creating a central patio that allows
natural ventilation of the circulation spaces and the penetration
of indirect light into the floor. A spiral staircase
in its center connects the assembly hall on the ground
floor with the offices above. On the top floor, a roof terrace
offers panoramic views of the city and the lagoon in
the distance.
