ABSTRACT

After having its own independence, Algeria has oriented its development towards industrialization, in which the effects were so destructing for the built environment. As result, we notice that the same architectural style was diffused everywhere of the country. That has created a contradiction with the ancestral traditions, this way of construction has intensified the phenomenon of rupture between man and his local environment. André Ravéreau and Fernand Pouillon, two modern designers who worked in Algeria, have innovated in their visions, by privileging the return to local sources as well as traditional architecture, but different from their peers, stemming from the modern movement that favorite concrete. Nowadays, although they introduced new techniques of construction but they made traditional aspects as reference; the contemporary architecture can-not be possible and achievable only through a reinterpretation of modern designer’s master works in Algeria. This work was fed by exits on ground, grip of photos, interviews with the persons in charge and the owners.
