Considering the immense diversity of sub-Saharan Africa's archi
tecture and built realities, does it make sense to speak of an
African architecture? How does this differ from archi tecture in
Africa? What does the term architecture actually mean in the
African context? And how could these questions be conceptualised
while leaving behind pre-existing theoretical moulds and biases?
Searching for new ways to theorise sub-Saharan African
architecture, this collection of 49 essays broadens and develops
the discourse around the architecture of a very rapidly changing
continent. Its authors - practising architects and renowned
scholars - put forward an array of heterogeneous perspectives,
question old tropes and emerg ing narratives, and challenge popular
concepts whilst pro pos ing new ones. All with the aim of
critically examining and advancing theoretical reflection on
African archi tec tures, both on the continent and globally.
