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.
