Considering the immense diversity of sub-Saharan Africa’s architecture 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 archi��tects 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.
