Sustainable Visions by Rambassun Sewpal
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: In this compelling and timely collection, acclaimed Mauritian architect Rambassun Sewpal offers a bold, critical examination of an island nation at a crossroads. Through a series of incisive essays and interviews, Sewpal dissects the pressing challenges facing Mauritius—from speculative urbanisation and the housing affordability crisis to the privatisation of public utilities and the urgent need for climate-resilient design.
With the sharp eye of a practitioner and the heart of an advocate, Sewpal questions top-down projects like Metro Express and Heritage City, arguing for development that prioritises people, sustainability, and social equity over profit and political expediency. He defends the essential role of the architect in creating livable spaces, laments the erosion of cultural heritage, and proposes concrete solutions for flood management, decent housing, and vibrant public realms.
