O knihe

'Thingira' in the Agikuyu language is the 'Gikuyu Man's Abode' and is a symbol of power and privilege his society. However, in the Kenyan context and over the years, it's status has eroded and perhaps requires a definition almost restatement in the light of the written thoughts, language and work of institutions and personalities such as the 'Gikuyu Centre for Cultural Studies' (Kigongona kia Uugi wa Bururi Witu), 'Facing Mount Kenya' (1938) by Mzee Jomo Kenyatta (c. 1897 - 1978), Ngugi wa Thiong'o's house in Limuru, 'The river between' (1965) by Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong'o (born: 1938), the author's mwalimu Architect Kamau Karogi (1953 - 2021), amongst many others; undertaken in God willing, in several volumes (Volume 3.0: Basic Ebclima Urban Generational Architecture); grouped and based on a regional generation architecture approach over time, space, space-time, place and presence. Actually, 'Thingira' is a metaphor for all that is good and to be treasured as part of the traditions and vernacular, coming from the sacred geometry of the Gikuyu Nyumba, which is seen as a healing instrument; with lessons to be learned for the world at large.
