"Modernist architecture and the urban transformation of Maputo, Mozambique, between history and modernity.The modernist architecture of Maputo is the protagonist of this book: the ground floors of its buildings serve as a lens to explore the transformation of post-colonial cities, focusing on streets, public spaces and urban change. Giovanna Silva's photography captures the city's evolving landscape and social fabric, while interviews with Ana Tostões and Ana Raquel Machava provide insights into Maputo's architectural heritage and challenges. Architects Matteo Poli and Luca Astorri (AOUMM) discuss its possible futures and enduring legacies, examining globalisation, resilience and identity. The book highlights the dynamic interplay between history and modernity, offering a broader reflection on urban adaptation and transformation in post-colonial contexts; as well as the importance of preserving and studying these modernist structures to create a sustainable and inclusive future for Maputo.Giovanna Silva (born 1980 in Milan) is an Italian photographer, writer and publisher. Her photographic books have been published by Mousse, Hatje Cantz, and Nero among others.
