Summary:

Alger et plus largement les colonies françaises d'Afrique du Nord ont systématiquement été des lieux d'expérimentation. L'architecture et l'aménagement n'ont pas fait exception. En 1930, avec le centenaire de la conquête de l'Algérie, la ville s'occidentalise et se dote de nouveaux équipements : hôpital, casino C'est dans ce contexte que Le Corbusier y est convié à prononcer deux conférences.0Le voici qui découvre une culture qui lui était inconnue mais dont certains édifices, notamment les mosquées, lui rappellent ses émerveillements en arrivant à Istambul, lors de son Voyage d'Orient, en 1911. Outre ce ravissement, Le Corbusier entrevoit la possibilité d'appliquer, de ce côté de la Méditerrannée, ses recherches théoriques sur la Ville radieuse.

Here he discovers a culture unknown to him, but some buildings, notably the mosques, remind him of his astonishment when he arrived in Istanbul during his Voyage d'Orient in 1911. In addition to this delight, Le Corbusier sees the possibility of " To apply, on this side of the Mediterranean, his theoretical researches on the Radiant City.
