Description

Explore the complex history of urban development in Eritrea through this scholarly study by Routledge. Modern Architecture and its Representation in Colonial Eritrea: An In-visible Colony, 1890-1941, provides a deep assessment of the architecture and urbanism built during the Italian colonial era. This book examines how imperial projects, modernist aesthetics, and fascist motives combined to create a unique built environment. As Italy's 'first born colony,' Eritrea and its capital, Asmara, served as a site where architectural styles were used to emulate and redefine colonial goals. Readers will learn how these political and aesthetic influences shaped the physical landscape of the region. This text is an essential resource for those studying the history of architecture, urbanism, and colonial studies. It offers a detailed look at how the built environment reflected the changing political motives of the time, making it a valuable addition to any academic library or collection focused on architectural criticism and theory.
