This volume examines the intersection of rapid urban expansion and architectural innovation across sub-Saharan Africa. Through a collection of essays and case studies, the authors explore how contemporary building projects integrate traditional techniques with modern ecological and social strategies to address the continent's evolving landscape. The work highlights how local participation and material experimentation are transforming both rural and urban environments into sites of design research.
