Kenya is a culturally diverse country represented by over 42 indigenous tribes and an ever-expanding international community. These indigenous communities have over generations developed unique, contextual and sustainable forms of architecture. These traditions and principles faced stunted development during the period of colonialism between 1880-1963. Today, In the face of growing influence of international modernism principles, the Kenyan public is increasingly deprived of architectural heritage and identity.

INTBAU Kenya was formed to facilitate research, record, analyse, and create practical modern applications of Kenyan vernacular and classical architecture with an objective of influencing its revival within the country. In line with the INTBAU network goals and objectives, the chapters four main goals are to Research, Revive, Preserve and Educate stakeholders and the general public on the benefits of Kenyan traditional architecture and Human Centric Urbanism in the 21st Century and the future.
