The thesis explores the notion of hybrid tectonics in the context of contemporary African architecture, investigating the dynamic interplay between global influences and local traditions. Through an extensive analysis of architectural practices and projects, this research seeks to understand how architects integrate both modern and traditional construction techniques to create sustainable and contextually responsive buildings. By delving into the complexities of design decisions and material choices, the study sheds light on the agency of architects in shaping the built environment while preserving cultural identities. Drawing from a diverse range of case studies across the African continent, the thesis emphasizes the importance of situating architecture within its socio-cultural context. The findings reveal how the coexistence of advanced technological innovations and traditional craftsmanship contributes to the evolution of architectural language, fostering a distinctive identity that reflects both global modernity and local heritage. Ultimately, this exploration of hybrid tectonics offers valuable insights for architects, researchers, and policymakers in their pursuit of sustainable and culturally relevant architectural design in an ever-globalizing world.
