Afrofuturist architecture refers to the architecture that is made in Africa. First of all the term afro-futurist refers to African culture and traditions and afro-futurist architecture means the architecture, the art done in Africa.
The continent of Africa is really large. It has many people. Also, the first civilizations started there because Africa is very rich in culture and traditions. There are different types of architecture in different cultures because Africa is vast in different traditions and it is full of art and architecture. There are many ancient structures all around Africa. Ancient people also used many local resources. They also were very strong because they were able to carry huge rocks up a hill while making structures like pyramids. There is architecture all over Africa based on the type of region. For example, the pyramids or other ancient structures in the Saharan area of Africa have buildings made out of sand, whereas the buildings in the sub-Saharan part of Africa have their structures made out of stone, mud or the resources found in their area.
African architecture is very rich and is very amazing. They have a lot of interesting stuff in their culture and also are very hard-working and dedicated. They have blessed the world by making lots of art for us to admire and have done a lot of work. That's why we should respect everyone as they can do something we could never imagine doing.
