Résumé

The climate-responsive design was a reality in expansion in the African Sub-Saharan regions since the 1950s. Such is the case of Angola and Mozambique, wide territories of sub-Saharan Africa testifying a significant developing impulse between the end of World War II and the Portuguese democratic revolution of 24th April 1974 which, the following year, led to the political independence of these two on forward African countries. Formal, technological and ideological quests for Modern Movement emerged as a cultural stimulus linked to geographical and climatic specificities, and these promoted new expressions and scales. The adaptation to the local climate was based on architectural programs and solutions developed to exploit the use of open spaces, using circulation galleries and introducing devices to maintain permanent air circulation and to control the admission of direct sunlight.

Biographie de l'auteur-e

Ana Tostões, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa. Portugal.

Ana Tostões (Lisboa 1959) is an architect, critic and architectural historian; a full professor at IST-University of Lisbon, where she is chair of the Architecture Scientific Board and in charge of the PhD program, and leader of the Heritage research line at CiTUA. She is a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo, University of Navarra, University of Porto and KULeuven. From 2010 to 2021, she was president of Docomomo International and editor-in-chief of the Docomomo Journal. During this period, the organisation transformed into a global network and the Docomomo Journal became the only international periodical providing a broad vision of the Modern Movement architecture and its reuse. On this topic she has published Key Papers in Modern Architectural Heritage Conservation (with Liu Kecheng, 2014) and Modern Heritage. Reuse, Renovation, Restoration (Birkhäuser, 2022). Her research field is the Critical History and Theory of Modern Movement Architecture. Focusing on the Colonial and Post-Colonial condition, she coordinated a research project on sub-Saharan African architecture whose publication Modern Architecture in Africa was awarded the Gulbenkian Prize, as well as the "Health and Care" project with the edition of the book Cure & Care, architecture and health (2020). She received the Prize of X Bienal Ibero-Americana de Arquitectura y Urbanismo and is a Distinguished Commander of the Order of Infante Dom Henrique.
