The Republic of Mali is renowned for its unique architecture and rich historical and cultural heritage, which attracts tourists. As part of urban development initiatives, there is a focus on creating park spaces. This paper provides a brief overview of the architectural structures within the National Park. In their design, the architects drew inspiration from the creative concepts and traditional building techniques of Mali's peoples. The construction materials used in the park are eco-friendly and blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings, creating a sense of unity with nature and forming part of the cultural landscape. Visitors to Mali's National Park, while enjoying the unique landscapes, simultaneously absorb the spirit of the Republic of Mali through its architectural heritage.
