La construction au fil du temps: recherche bibliographique/cas d'une cave à cuve coloniale à RIO SALADO

Abstract

In this end of studies thesis we focused our research on the history of construction and its origin through the different eras starting from ancient civilizations, from the Middle Ages to modern times, such as the Egyptian, Roman and Greek civilizations, to the Renaissance and new architecture through modern times, and the emergence of new construction principles and techniques with the beginning of the 17th to the 19th century. The buildings and architecture differ from one civilization to another, depending on the region, its religion, its politics and the characteristics of its natural environment, such as Islamic and classical architecture, Asian and Latin civilization. Algeria has a rich built heritage made up of old colonial buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries. Sadly, this heritage is threatened with extinction and disappearance due to neglect and excessive chaotic exploitation, which has damaged the image of Algerian cities. Colonialism made Algeria a purely colonial urban landscape by consolidating its principles and civilization, and this materialized in its industrial buildings, such as cooperative cellars for the production of vines and wine, including the Most have become deserted and neglected because they are no longer operational. In the last chapter, we chose the colonial coastal town of El Maleh, located in the Wilayat of Ain Temouchent, as a case study since its colonial and agricultural cachet characterizes it. The "Cardona" cellar, the object of our memory, is considered an architectural gem bringing together structural techniques and architectural features dating from the colonial period.
