Biography / Info

French architect Armand Salomon’s timeless architectural creations have permanently altered the urban environment of Cameroon. It doesn’t take much effort for people who are familiar with Armand Salomon’s style of architecture to identify his accomplishments in the cities of Yaoundé, Douala, Garoua, Bafoussam, and Ngaoundéré. He was skilled at keeping things straightforward in this era of contemporary architecture and occasionally drew inspiration from aspects of our culture to create pieces that are genuine historical markers. The construction of the Post and Telecommunications, the CNPS, the first Minrex structure, the BEAC in Bafoussam, the Great Mosque in Ngaoundere, and the Garoua city hall are just a few examples of the variety of his initiatives spanning the fields of housing, culture, administration, education, and trade.
