Ideas for inclusion:

  • Different styles throughout the continent
  • History of architecture, including the different influences

N Africa vs. Sub-Saharan Africa

Should the article be split between these two regions? Youngamerican 15:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For what reason?--Ezeu 09:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Differing culture regions, architecture styles, etc. Just a thought. Youngamerican 13:07, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Within an article titled “Architecture of Africa”, there is no justifiable reason or need to distinguish between so called “North” Africa and “Sub-Saharan” Africa. This is primarily due to the fact that the architecture created within the continent of Africa, no matter how different the structures may appear, was created by African people. Why would someone looking to make an honest assessment of African architecture need to separate the work created to the north of the continent from the work created below the Sahara desert?
