Architecture of Zimbabwe information


The architecture of Zimbabwe is composed of three architectural types: the Hill Complex, the Valley Complex, and the Great Enclosure.[1] Both traditional and colonial architectures have influenced the history and culture of the country.[2] However, post-1954 buildings are mainly inspired by pre-colonial, traditional architecture,[1] especially Great Zimbabwe–inspired structures such as the Kingdom Hotel, Harare international airport, and the National Heroes' Acre.[2]
