Notes:
"Architectural Sequels is a downtown journey. Kinshasa, Douala, Dakar - cities that are each as unusual as they are representative. The journey stops to take in the most important architectural elements of the cities while juxtaposing modern images with the images of a bygone era. This is not merely a nostalgic look at a time gone by when spaces seemed to be more open and organized, but a deconstruction of all that has happened since then in these cities, each with a different history"--Page 4 of cover.
Includes bibliographical references (page 110).
French with a summary in English.
Summary:

Cet ouvrage retrace un itinéraire de traversées de centres-villes. Kinshasa, Douala, Dakar. Il ne s'agit pas, ici, de porter un regard nostalgique sur une époque révolue, où l'espace semblait plus dégagé et ordonné, mais de décoder ce qui se réalise depuis lors dans ces villes chargées d'histoires différentes. Chaque ville s'ouvre sur un panoramique, des repères historiques et une vision plus personnelle, puis dévoile son évolution depuis les indépendances. Cet ouvrage est le premier de la collection "d'architectures & d'Afrique" dont l'objectif est de dresser un panorama du bâti à travers des thèmes précis. Ceci afin de mettre en perspective des spécificités et de découvrir ce qu'elles reflètent de la société africaine d'aujourd'hui. Présentés sous forme de carnets, rassemblant récits et analyses, photos et plans, les ouvrages font référence à des lieux situés dans différentes villes, voire différents pays.
