‘Architecture is not Western’ is an invitation to change the way we think about architecture, to shift our gaze away from the standardised image of the city and discover the diversity of architecture around the world.
Each episode explores this otherness, using Central African architecture as a case study. Some original architectural developments that took place before industrialisation era will make us aware of other ways of conceiving space.
The aim is to create cities where everyone can find their place through the inclusion of diverse cultural characteristics, a source of lasting enrichment for all.

Hello, I'm Alba, welcome to my podcast ‘Architecture is not Western’. In this first episode, I invite you to discover the project that drives me and what's in store for you in future episodes.
I talk about my disillusions since I started practising as an architect, but also about my intentions to change things, if only a little. I describe briefly the flaws in the education system, the practice of the profession and the inconsistencies in the way we think about cities. But also the differences in perception between the architecture of the Global South and that of the West.
Enjoy your listening!
