The authors of Oran, City & Architecture 1790-1960 invite us to explore nearly two centuries of architecture. The second largest city in Algeria, Oran boasts an exceptional architectural heritage, a testament to the various layers of occupation it has experienced. The book explores a wide range of architectural trends and programs: Spanish military buildings, Ottoman monuments, Art Deco-style buildings, modernist housing and facilities from the 1950s and 1960s.
Oran, City & Architecture 1790-1960 is presented in the form of six walks bringing together short monographs of nearly 250 buildings, both public and private. It also contains biographical notes on around a hundred architects active during the period.
The result of a meticulous field inventory combined with research in Algerian, Spanish, and French archives, the work is both a reference scientific publication and an architectural guide. It is aimed at specialist architects and historians, as well as an audience of amateurs from both shores of the Mediterranean.
