This course aims to introduce students to the history of Algerian architecture, focusing on its local roots. Understanding the development of architecture in our country means above all discovering the cultural, social and historical influences that have shaped it over time.
Studying this history not only gives us a better understanding of the specific features of our built heritage, but also raises awareness among future architects of the importance of preserving it. By familiarising themselves with the works, techniques and contexts that have left their mark on Algerian architecture, students will develop an awareness of heritage that is essential to any project approach in the local context.
Finally, this course is also a gateway to a better understanding of Algerian cultural identity. It offers students the opportunity to reconnect with their heritage, to become aware of their role in society and to envisage more relevant architectural interventions, respectful of the past and in tune with contemporary realities.
