Abstract
In the past decades, the status of territories and everyday urban experiences has been strongly bound with notions of globalisation and migration. In this critical discussion, the effects of migration are identified according to multiple dimensions in order to generate knowledge on ‘space in transition’ by exploring how Senegalese traders who belong to the Mouride brotherhood make claims on and use space during their time in Italy. ‘Mourides’ are groups with very high mobility and exemplify ‘transmigrants’; they establish ‘circulatory territories’ by commuting between their land of origin and the host country – changing their whereabouts seasonally. At the architectural level, the key question raised by migration is how diversity can be acknowledged, valued, and accommodated by the built environment.
