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 frequently 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 characterize
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.
