Khartoum School

The Khartoum School refers to a group of modernist Sudanese architects active mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. They aimed to blend contemporary architectural styles with Sudanese cultural and environmental elements, creating buildings that reflected national identity during Sudan's independence period. Their work often combines international modernism with local materials, patterns, and climate considerations, resulting in designs that are both functional and culturally significant. The Khartoum School played a key role in shaping Sudan’s architectural identity by promoting a uniquely national style amidst global architectural trends.
