The SAH Indigenous Architecture Affiliate Group aims to build a community of scholars whose work focuses on Indigenous architecture, defined as architecture designed by or for Indigenous people. The group considers architecture
in a broader sense to include not only buildings, but how people define and use space on the land, how they create buildings in response to their worldviews, and the interrelationship between humankind and the natural environment. The Affiliate
Group will concern itself with the study of Indigenous architecture from all time periods. Geographically, the group is beginning from a position in North America, but scholars whose work focuses on Indigenous architecture beyond North America are
welcome to join.
