Considering the immense diversity of sub-Saharan Africa's archi\u00ADtecture and built realities, does it make sense to speak of an African architecture? How does this differ from archi\u00ADtecture 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.\nIts authors \u2013 practising architects and renowned scholars \u2013 put forward an array of heterogeneous perspectives, question old tropes and emerg\u00AD\u00ADing narratives, and challenge popular concepts whilst pro\u00ADpos\u00ADing new ones.\n\nTheorising Architecturein Sub-Saharan Africa\nPerspectives, Questions,and Concepts\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with f;
