He was in the process of reconstructing a collection of the major vernacular building types of the country on a 65 acre site, for the Museum of Traditional Nigerian Architecture, when he had to return to Poland due to ill health. He was making extensive notes on his research at the time, and these volumes are the result. A very thorough and scholarly work.
