‘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.

Following on from the previous episode on reconciling modern and traditional architecture, we now turn our attention to contemporary materials. We question the impact of concrete and its actual toxicity. Can we hybridize systems to create a more sustainable architecture?
