Project Title
A Condição Contemporânea da Arquitetura Angolana: A Arquitetura do Movimento Moderno em Luanda na sua relação com os Paradigmas Corbusianos na Obra de Vasco Vieira da Costa
Abstract
"After colonisation, despite the prolonged civil war, the city of Luanda still has a mass of buildings that can be identified as colonial production, and therefore belonging to the modernist style. The figure of Vasco Vieira da Costa as an influential Modernist architect in Luanda is preponderant, his works covering a variety of programmes and typologies, from As Cidades Satélites to Mercado do Quinaxixe, making it possible to study the influence of the Modernist Movement on Luanda's society, and in a deductive way, to discuss the impact of colonialism on the built environment and the creation of racial differences in urban and architectural spaces. In the context of trying to recognise the buildings of the Modern Movement in Luanda as architectural heritage, the question arises: what is ""heritage"" from the perspective of those (people) who have been colonised?"
