Christophe van GerreweyChristophe Van Gerrewey (1982) is an architecture critic and theorist, writing about contemporary buildings, their recent histories and intellectual dimensions, and their connections to society, philosophy, art and literature. In particular, he is an expert on the work of OMA/Rem Koolhaas as well as on Belgian architecture. He is one of the editors of architecture journal OASE, and of art and culture journal De Witte Raaf. In his writings, architecture is considered as a source of comprehensive and integrated knowledge that pertains to diverse disciplines – a way of looking at, and of understanding, many aspects of the world we live in. This gives his activities an unusually broad and comprehensive aspect, transcending divisions of knowledge.
Since 2015, he is Assistant Professor Tenure Track of architecture theory at EPFL Lausanne. He was trained as an architect-engineer at Ghent University and as a literary theorist at KU Leuven. In Dutch, his mother tongue, he has published three novels and a collection of essays between 2013 and 2017.

La construction des périphéries urbaines en Afrique subsaharienneSelon la Banque mondiale, les villes africaines connaîtront un doublement de leur population en 2040 et un triplement en 2050 pour atteindre environ 1,5 milliards d'urbains (Lall, 2017). La dimension de ces prévisions donne toute sa mesure quand on les rapporte à l'espace dans lequel elles se réaliseront. Elles deviennent même très vite alarmantes, car aujourd'hui déjà, les villes d'Afrique subsaharienne n'arrivent pas à offri
