LAGAE, JOHAN / AVERMAETE, TOM - Oase #82 : L'afrique C'est Chique. Architectuur En Planning in Afrika 1950-1970 / Architecture and Planning in Africa 1950-1970. Tijdschrift Voor Architectuur / Journal for Architecture

Rotterdam, NAi Publishers. 2010, First Edition. Soft Cover. Magazine/Periodical, New. Text: EN/NL. 145 p.; ill.; 17 x 24 cm; 400 g. 'This issue devoted to Africa is a response to the current fascination with the African city among architects and planners, stimulated among other things by Rem Koolhaas’s research on Lagos. By opting for an explicitly historical perspective, this issue also aims to stand out from a debate often mired in wide-ranging meta-theoretical reflections on the informal city or a reductive view of a forgotten modernist heritage. Through several case studies on architecture and planning practices in Africa between 1950 and 1970, placed in context by two critical essays and a photo reportage (Sammy Baloji) on the urban landscape of Maputo, Mozambique, the issue presents a different and still little-known story.' (Oase). Mint copy. (ISBN: 9789056627751)
