After more than 120 years of French colonial rule, the growing independence movements led to the Algerian Revolution in 1954, which lasted until 1962. To combat the uprisings, the French civil and military authorities reorganized the entire territory, rapidly established new infrastructures, and pursued a construction policy aimed at ultimately stabilizing French dominance in Algeria. The study describes the architectural measures taken during this protracted and bloody armed conflict. It analyzes their origins, developments, and objectives, identifies the actors involved, and highlights the underlying design methods.
