Manuel Herz’s Tambacounda Hospital in Senegal is rooted in community Manuel Herz’s Tambacounda Hospital in Senegal is rooted in community A brick extension to the Tambacounda hospital in Senegal by Switzerland-based architect Manuel Herz is a true project of collaboration, rooted to the local community All images courtesy of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation and Le Korsa This new extension to the Tambacounda hospital in Senegal is ostensibly by the Switzerland-based architect Manuel Herz. Yet such is the depth of the building’s roots in the local community – from labour to process to the functions of the building – that it can only really be called a collaboration. That said, the project is a natural continuation of the 52-year-old architect’s career to date.
