Field notes
The homepage places the journal in Accra and names Joseph Eguei Yartey, a construction technologist, as its writer. Its first issue frames building through climate, while the contents list future pieces on laterite and other overlooked materials, recurring floods, and the parlour as a design feature. The site also offers an RSS feed and says email subscribers can expect new essays once or twice a month.
