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.
