ABOUT 'in the skin of the city: luanda or the dialectics of spatial transformation
In the skin of the city: Luanda or the dialectics of spatial transformation is a book that describes the process of transformation that the city of Luanda, the capital city of Angola, has been through in the past decades, having the architectural modernist intervention – which started in the 1950s – as the starting point. Additionally, the book engages with the question of Postcolonial urbanism and the ways in which the postcolonial state has dealt with the urbanistic colonial inscription and the imperative for its unraveling.
