Summary:
L'architecture moderniste de Maputo est au cœur de cet ouvrage : les rez-de-chaussée de ses bâtiments servent de prisme pour explorer la transformation des villes postcoloniales, en mettant l'accent sur les rues, les espaces publics et les mutations urbaines. La photographie de Giovanna Silva saisit le paysage en évolution de la ville ainsi que son tissu social, tandis que des entretiens avec Ana Tostões et Ana Raquel Machava apportent un éclairage sur le patrimoine architectural et les enjeux de Maputo. Les architectes Matteo Poli et Luca Astorri (AOUMM) discutent de ses futurs possibles et de ses héritages durables, en interrogeant les notions de mondialisation, de résilience et d'identité. Le livre met en lumière l'interaction dynamique entre histoire et modernité, tout en proposant une réflexion plus large sur l'adaptation et la transformation urbaines dans les contextes postcoloniaux, ainsi que sur l'importance de préserver et d'étudier ces structures modernistes pour bâtir un avenir durable et inclusif à Maputo.

Summary:
Ceci n'est pas un livre d'architecture mais un livre de photographie sur une architecture qui s'exprime par le divers. Il s'agit d'un ouvrage qui entend proposer un regard photographique sur des bâtiments d'Abidjan portant l'empreinte d'un certain « modernisme tropical ». Plus exactement, 'Album Architectures, Abidjan' est le témoignage d'une rencontre entre deux individus qui habitent et partagent un attachement esthétique et émotionnel pour la cité lagunaire. Issa Diabaté, architecte, acteur contemporain du devenir architectural de cette ville qui ne cesse de se réinventer. François-Xavier Gbré, photographe qui a fait de l'architecture son médium privilégié d'appréhension de l'histoire sourde des lieux en envisageant les architectures comme les traces sédimentaires des changements sociaux et politiques d'un pays, la Côte d'Ivoire. Cet ouvrage, et la collection 'Album Architectures' plus largement, souhaite initier une réflexion sur la définition de la notion de patrimoine contemporain à travers la valorisation de paysages architecturaux riches et singuliers, pas toujours identifiés, souvent invisibilisés, de villes en perpétuelle mutation urbaine.
