Maputo Bay Fishery Complex: an architectural investigation of Maputo’s edge
Master’s Dissertation
Abstract
English
“We must become technicians of the emotions, makers of smiles, tear jerkers, exaggerators, spokesmen of dreams, performers of miracles, messengers; and invent raw, bold, vigorous and intense buildings without taste, absurd and chaotic, to invent an architecture the size of life. Buildings shall yet belong to the people, architecture shall yet become real and alive, and beauty shall yet be warm and convulsive.”- Amâncio d’Alpoim Miranda “Pancho” Guedes Pancho Guedes was not a purist - he celebrated that his architecture had a life of its own and would be appreciated and adapted by the people who made their homes in it (Guedes, 2015: online). One of the aims of this dissertation was to mine the poetic depths of the architectural contribution of the most influential Mozambican architect, Pancho Guedes (1925-2015).
