Abstract

This paper investigates the multiple architectural modernities in colonial and postindependence Nigeria. After examining the theoretical basis for multiple modernities and the use of architecture as a vehicle to study modernity, it identifies the colonial, tropical, and postcolonial modern as multiple architectural modernities that existed in colonial and postcolonial Nigeria. The criteria with which the multiple modernities were delineated were historical settings, key participants, distinguishing features, and meanings. This provides a plausible framework to understand modernities in other contexts beyond architecture and opens the possibility of elucidating various modernities and enriching the repository of modern heritage. Devising such broad definitions of modern heritage responds to the call of the Cape Town Document on Modern Heritage for expanded definitions of what constitutes the modern, while enabling the accounting for and stratification of multiple memories and narratives, and the inclusion of many types of modern architecture in conservation conversations.

了解殖民时期和独立后尼日利亚的多重现代建筑风格
本文研究了殖民时期和独立后尼日利亚的多重建筑现代性。在研究了多重现代性的理论基础以及将建筑作为研究现代性的载体之后,本文将殖民地现代性、热带现代性和后殖民现代性确定为存在于殖民地时期和后殖民时期尼日利亚的多重建筑现代性。划分多重现代性的标准是历史背景、主要参与者、显著特征和意义。这为理解建筑以外其他背景下的现代性提供了一个合理的框架,并为阐明各种现代性和丰富现代遗产库提供了可能性。开普敦现代遗产文件》呼吁扩大现代遗产的定义范围,为现代遗产下这样宽泛的定义是对这一呼吁的回应,同时也能对多种记忆和叙事进行说明和分层,并将多种类型的现代建筑纳入保护对话。
