Zusammenfassung:"Pemba: Spontaneous Living Spaces looks at self-built dwellings and settlements in the case study city of Pemba, in the Cabo Delgado region of Mozambique. Self-built houses born from need, in haste, and with limited economical resources, are often considered to be temporary structures, but often become an integral part of the urban fabric, representative of a local culture of living. The study is part of the Spontaneous Living Spaces research project, and through a variety of documentation tools, it investigates the evolution of the architectural and urban elements that characterise self-built dwellings in Pemba. The evolution of the spontaneous living culture creates new forms of living in the city connected to local cultural expressions and the environment. These are placed in relation to the traditional and contemporary living cultures, settlement trends, and the natural environment. Covering a history of housing in Mozambique and unpacking four settlement types in Pemba, this book is written for academics, professionals, and researchers in architecture and planning with a particular interest in African architecture and urbanism"--
