- Summary
- Some 50 years after Algeria gained independence and 40 years after the founding of the University of Science and Technology Houari Boumedienne (Université des sciences et de la technologie Houari-Boumediene), Andreas Rost explores with his photography project the avant-garde aims and social reality of this university designed by Oscar Niemeyer. Amazingly the university is little known and seldom depicted even amongst architecture experts. Conceived as a place of instruction for 15,000 students, just under 25,000 now study there. The photographer sees the campus as a post-modern building long before this term existed.
