- Kulterman and AfterOn the Historiography of the 1950's and the 1960's Architecture in Africa
- Abstract
- Based on Udo Kultermann’s 1963 Neues Bauen in Afrika Johan Lagae reveals in his essay the mechanisms at work in documenting and presenting modern architecture and urban planning in Africa since the 1950s. He unravels, for instance, the editorial strategies of magazines like l’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui or Architectural Review and presents a critical historiographical overview that shows how, especially in the last several years, the view of this architectural production has been thoroughly revised.
