Entre renouveau et historicisme : les imaginaires arabo-andalous dans l’architecture de l’Algérie contemporaine
Between Renewal and Historicism: Arab-Andalusian Imaginaries in Algeria’s Contemporary Architecture

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we look at the new architectural projects in Algeria that use the legacies of the Andalusian past, in an ideological and / or aesthetic impulse. We have traced back the history of the country to draw the theoretical foundations and principles of this trend. The exploration of the history of Andalusian architecture in Algeria is also an important point in the process of understanding this historicist architecture. In this contribution, we will examine buildings that are inspired by the Andalusian past, from the Center of Andalusian Studies to the Cultural Palace of the Wilaya of Tlemcen in western Algeria.
