ABSTRACT

Colonialism has had a major impact on civilizations around the world. British colonialism and French colonialism have spread their influence throughout the world, and have become one of the world's major powers. In addition, these powers have influenced many countries in terms of culture, education, art, architecture and urban planning. The influences continued, however, even after independence. Thus, this paper presents an overview on the architecture of colonialism. This paper has explored the effects of colonialism on the architecture point of view among the nations, which were colonized, by the French and the British. This paper has looked into the history of colonization whereby the traces of French and British colonization were presented. Likewise, the architecture aspects of the French and the British on the colonized countries were also discussed. Thus, it is concluded that the countries, which were colonized, by the French and the British have adapted the architecture aspects of the colonizer.
