Architecture, Urban Planning and Political Thought in Senegal 1960–1989
“Building the Independence: Architecture, Urban Planning and Political Thought in Senegal 1960–1989“ focuses on the theoretical discourse on architecture and urban planning between the 1960s and the end of 1980s in the post-Independence Senegal, more specifically, on the links between the West-African Marxist political theory of the Independence era and the attempts to create new forms of architectural symbolism in that period.
