Abstract :
- This paper relates to a basic understanding of
Hausa traditional society as Afrocentrism. Its goal is to
learn how Afrocentrism can be applied to real-life
situations in developing Hausa culture in Nigeria. This
study aims to interpret the interest that Afrocentrism
should show in Afrocentric architecture and, most
crucially, the role of culture in creating the built
environment. In addition, the paper discussed the
significance of culture and Afrocentrism in architecture.
The study allows architects to be more self-aware and
critical of their cultural surroundings when setting up.
Understanding Afrocentric Architecture can aid in the
reconnection of modern civilization and the development
of some of Afrocentrism’s shared foundations with the
contemporary world. As a result, this paper examined the
role of Afrocentrism and culture in molding the built
environment in depth using an extensive literature review.
