II African generation In the fifties and sixties of last century, a generation of architects went to Africa for different reasons. (...) they built buildings applying the principles of European modernism adapted to the tropical climate. They applied the teachings of Le Corbusier, summoned Brazilian tropical modernism, reclaimed the link between art and architecture. (...) Far from Portugal, in the midst of Estado Novo, the architects of this "African generation" created freely and built more than they would build in the mainland, making a free architecture. With a very strong presence in the cities, since the early 1950s, they built the new Angolan and Mozambican cities, cities that needed and had room to grow. The quality, intelligence and uniqueness of the works, are an expression and impulse of freedom that extended the universe of architecture, and marked the 20th century in Africa.
