Modernism in Namibia’s Spatial Production
Moderated by Martin Namupala, this panel discussion explores the role of modernism in shaping Namibia’s spatial production during the colonial era and how it continues to influence urban spaces today. The future of urban spaces and post-colonial architecture in Namibia are also of concern in the social sciences and architectural fraternities.
Does the trend of political leaders in a post-colonial state erecting structures to symbolize the victory of independence and promised liberty of a national identity also apply to Namibia?
Panelists include architect Dr. Jaco Wasserfall, Dr. Jens Wiedow and Dr. Ellison Tjirera.
The discussion is open to the public.
