Le pavillon de l’Algérie à travers les expositions coloniales, internationales et universelles

Abstract

The pavilions architecture had a specific logic, closely linked to exhibitions. The supremacy of Algerian vernacular styles reveals the desire to show exotic and folk places. If the Neo Classical, Art Nouveau and Art Déco were strongly present on the Algerian territory, they were rarely exhibited indeed. In regards to that, this colonial society including its cultural and architectural specifities remained ignored. These observations represent the main topic in this work.
