Hausa architecture
Architecture of Hausa people / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hausa architecture is the architecture of the Hausa people of Northern Nigeria and Niger.[1] Hausa architectural forms include mosques, walls, common compounds, and gates. Hausa traditional architecture is an integral part of how Hausa people construct a sense of interrelatedness with their physical environment.[citation needed] The architectural program used in this society is one disciplined by Islam and results in a highly organized spatial structure which is used to express features of Hausa culture.[2]
