I noticed African Architecture isn’t really showcased compared to Asian, European, Middle Eastern and Indian.

So here is a thread of African Architectural styles.

Starting with Nubian
South African Architecture
Somali Architecture
Swahili Architecture
Sudano-Sahelian Architecture
Modern Sudano-Sahelian Architecture
Madagascar Architecture
Afro Federal Architecture
Contemporary African Architecture
Afro Modernist Architecture
Afro Futurist Architecture
Nigerian Architecture
Ghanaian Architecture
Ethiopian Architecture
I hope as Africa develops more African governments and countries take inspiration from native African achitectural styles.

Hope you enjoyed the thread.
