Beschreibung
Knowledge of colonial architecture in the South Pacific remains sparse, with often-overlooked connections to para-colonial settings and postcolonial continuities. This edited volume seeks to address these gaps, focusing on the period from 1840 to 1970 across the broader South Pacific region. Through in-depth architectural case studies of buildings, ensembles and urban projects, the essays reflect on the complex interactions between locals and foreigners, colonisers and the colonised, and their shifting allegiances, even across changing political powers. With a rare focus on German colonial influences in the region, the contributions go beyond the predominant narratives of British and French colonial influence. This volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers of architectural history and colonial history in Oceania. Michael Falser. was project director for German colonial architecture at the Technical University of Munich (2020-2024), and is teaching architectural history and cultural heritage at the Institute for Art History, Heidelberg University.
