    13 mai 2019, par Chloé Adloff

    L’an dernier, M. Bonkoungou a été le premier habitant de son village à construire sa maison en Voûte Nubienne. Très fier, il témoigne des avantages des bâtiments VN par rapport aux autres types constructions répandues dans la région.
    « Depuis 2011, j’ai construit ma maison à 5 reprises, en tôle, avant de décider de construire un bâtiment en VN. J’ai réuni les matériaux, hébergé et nourri les maçons et aidé à la fabrication des briques. Il y a une grande différence entre les bâtiments VN et les bâtiments en (...)
