The International Trade Fair Centre in Dakar represents a synthesis of modernism and vernacular architecture, embodying Senegal's post-colonial ambition and cultural identity.
Senghor's vision for the architecture was to integrate rhythmic dimensions, inspired by poetry and music, creating a space that reflects cultural reclamation and national pride.
The competition for the center sought architecture that embraced diversified repetitions of rhythm, highlighting the importance of expressing the Senegalese identity through innovative design.
The design by Lamoureux and Marin stands as a testament to the synthesis of cultural values and architectural expression, essential for a nation's defined identity.
