Design with Climate in Africa. The World of Galleries, Brise–Soleil and Beta Windows (original) (raw)

This paper examines the evolution of modern architecture and urban planning in former Portuguese colonies in Africa, with a focus on Angola and Mozambique. It highlights the historical context of post-colonial development, the influence of Brazilian architectural practices on tropical climate adaptation, and the role of key educational institutions and projects. The case studies presented include four high school buildings, emphasizing their significance as both functional structures and representations of climate-responsive design in the region.
