RE: Decolonized Ar(t)chitectureIN PROGRESS (.../20xx/...)

Dear All,
More than half a century after 'decolonization movements', une Halte.
This is a reflection/analysis on the process of decolonization as perceived through the 'critical prism' of the architect/intellectual, in 2012.
A process that, in a cyclic manner, reinvents and regenerates itself according to circumstances and polemics.
Process which is, finally, still in progress ...
So what are the options/issues: RE: Load, RE: Start, RE: Set ?
The debate is open.
All comments and suggestions are welcome to think/act on the subject/issue.
All platforms: internet, conference, workshop, publications, or simple meetings.
All locations: Algiers, New York, Paris, Rotterdam, London, Istanbul, Mumbai, ...
Languages: English, French, Arabic.
Calendar: Timeless.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Nacym
