Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture and Planning, 1994.<br>Includes bibliographical references (v. 3, leaves 718-730).<br>This dissertation reconstructs the histories of some exceptional, hitherto unstudied buildings, erected in southeastern Nigeria between 1889 and 1939; they are part of a larger group, dispersed over the African Atlantic coast and 'interior'. To architectural scholarship, these kinds of building have seemed unfathomable , if they emerge at all from invisibility (and thus from being unamenable to study). Typically, they are viewed thr

Abstract:

The threat of the natural resources exhaustion is pronounced by the unsustainable linear depletion by extraction, production, consumption, and disposal as a waste at the end of service. Realisation of the fact that there is indeed a limit to the carrying capacity of the earth makes it imperative for humanity to retrace its path from the unsustainable practices that destroy the natural environment and threaten the world’s stock of natural resources to the more sustainable practices. The built environment is the largest resource consuming human activity and is at the centre of the unsustainable

Abstract:

Modern architecture in Nigeria presents a bizarre picture of indiscriminate transplantation of foreign buildings, and a complete abandonment of traditional architecture. Apparently, the transplanted architecture does not respond to the physical and cultural needs of Nigerians, and, at all events, the peoples' attitude to it portrays ignorance, confusion and resignation. This thesis argues that rather than this wholesale transplantation, Nigeria's traditional architecture should be studied to rediscover those principles that are vital for the development of a satisfactory modern architecture.

This thesis serves as a design contribution to the war against poverty by proving that small-scale architectural interventions can propagate large-scale economic growth. It demonstrates how by 'rethinking relationships'- which is the essence of design thinking- synergistic innovations are created, capable of unleashing economic growth of pandemic proportions.

Abstract:

Les architectures traditionnelles du Mali et du Nigéria sont menacées par l'abandon, la perte des savoir-faire et le développement galopant. Comment maintenir, faire évoluer et adapter ces pratiques architecturales au monde contemporain ? Quatre sites, et quatre situations, issus d'une histoire longue ont été étudiés : Djenné, Kano, Sukur et Ushafa. L'architecture de la zone d'étude a surtout été façonnée par les faits historiques, les aspects culturels, et les transformations économiques notamment: l'Identité culturelle, une continuité de fonction, la capacité de chaque population à s'adapter

Abstract:

Building with earth is still a living practice in Nigeria most especially in the northern region. Pear shaped sun-dried earth brick (tubali) was used traditionally by the Hausa in northern Nigeria. However, the use of tubali has ceased to exist in favour of the adobe blocks in both the urban and rural settlements in Nigeria. Sabon Gari, the study area is one of the urban areas in this region with buildings constructed with adobe. However, these adobe buildings are in deplorable conditions and in dire need of repair. Sabon Gari in Kaduna was selected as the thesis’ study area because of its str

Abstract:

The research traces the housing of soldiers in Military Barracks from the time of the Roman Army, and by examining the Contemporary Military Establishment, identifies the changes that have occurred. It notes the advancement in the technology of warfare which necessitates the recruitment of a higher calibre of men into the Military. The survey methodology establishes the use and nature of the questionnaire and the priority evaluation game which was developed to obtain the soldiers' housing priorities. The data collected by the survey from a sample of soldiers is analysed, in order to understand
