Contribution à la connaissance de la production architecturale à Alger à l’aube du Modernisme. « XAVIER SALVADOR
(Epau, 2018) HARROUCHE,Houda Hakima; DJALLAL HIMEUR, Dalila [Rapporteur]
During the colonial period, Algeria was the cradle of different types of architectures representative of the ideological, identity, economic and social policies of the settlers. From neo-classical 1830 until the advent of the modern movement in 1930. Qualified as a laboratory, the city of Algiers finally opens up a new field of artistic creations endowed with a local character with a modernist expression, translated under the precept of "Mediterranean architecture". This new current comes in reaction against the pastiche exercised on Algerian land for more than a century. It was led by a line of architects known as "Algerianists" founders of a prodigious architecture which is still present and deserves to be recognized and highlighted.
Xavier Salvador is one of those protagonists who draws on local tradition to reinterpret modernity. He is a French architect of Spanish origin born in 1898 in Seville. He joined the School of Fine Arts in Algiers in the early 1910s. . Passionate about architecture, he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Paris, in the Gabriel Héraud studio, where he won several architectural awards. He graduated in 1923 and moved to Algeria where he opened his own agency in 1925 to begin his professional life in the city of Algiers. He joined several professional associations in Algeria in parallel, which enabled him to occupy important state positions.
The architect expressed himself with a diverse and extremely local production, ranging from simple private construction to buildings. His projects expressed in the first place an academic style influenced by the knowledge acquired during his training at the School of Fine Arts. Subsequently, the architect adopts a modern style that incorporates the elements and colors of the local architecture.
This research is the result of a detailed study of the course and the work of the architect, who through the monograph tool offers the first detailed and articulated presentation of the course of the architect. Such a subject will contribute to the restoration of the urban and architectural history of the Modern Movement in Algiers.
L’ornementation dans les halls d’immeubles de rapport Algérois Identification et Inventaire
(Epau, 2018) BELHAMDI ,Soumia; BELOUACHRANI-AMROUCHE,Wahiba [Rapporteur]
The lobby as a reception area, crossing or intermediate in the buildings of the XIXth century, it was mainly a space of representation. Expressing the status of its builders and owners while affirming the status of the latter. It is as a support for this architectural and architectonic richness that the hall interests us in this research. These ornamental elements, by lack of knowledge of their historical and artistic value, disappear every day in Algiers during rehabilitation operations altering their authenticity. Our objective is to identify and inventory the ornamental systems in a corpus of 12 entrance halls that we have chosen in relation to the evolving moments of the center of Algiers and in relation to their original state. This identification will allow, in a second step, to analyze the ornamental degree of each entrance hall and to establish a classification in relation to their ornamental wealth.
L’architecture des casinos-hôtels du XIXe & XXe siècle en Algérie
(Epau, 2016) DELLAS,Mohamed Yacine; HORRA,Badr El-Mounir [Rapporteur]
The Algerian scene has known the passage of different civilizations, in different periods of time, civilizations that marked its history. One of which is the colonization period, a period that left an important amount of built heritage, that belongs to different architectural styles, such as the neo Moorish, the industrial style and the Neoclassic style
This heritage representative* of important patrimonial values, knowingly it represents an important era of the Algerian history, it has pedagogic values. However, this heritage, while waiting to be patrimonialized has become vulnerable due to the irreversible changes that occurred to it, the effect of elements of time, and the lack of maintenance.
In the absence of a law that protects this heritage, and considering the deteriorated state that it’s in, urgent interventions are required, and the first action is to contribute to the knowledge and recognition of this built fortune, and that happens throw academicals studies such as the architectural monography.
Throw the monographic study of the Fort-de-l’Eau’s Casino-Hotel, the current study, that occurs in research-master degree in Architecture, forms a modest attempt to contribute in the knowledge of a particular typology in the French architecture in colonized Algeria, that vanished to know Casinos- Hotels
