Abstract:
One of the fundamental determinants of buildings is the protection of the people who live and work within them from a harsh climate, but a lot of buildings in Nigeria are no longer providing the required comfort needed. The gas emissions through the use of mechanical equipment and lack of energy efficiency in buildings are the major causes of climate change. The way architecture responds to climate change is important. Thus, this research attempted, by using the new bioclimatic chart, to prepare the new climate classification of Nigeria. The research was aimed at establishing a bioclimatically based approach for architecture in Nigeria. By retrieving the climatic data from thirty-six Nigerian meteorological stations about characteristics of each region, bioclimatic analysis was achieved. According to the bioclimatic analysis of this research, Nigeria can be divided into five different climatic regions, such as hot-dry, hot-humid, temperate-dry, temperate-humid, and temperate-dry with a cool climate. We aimed to prove that the climate classification gives the proper answer, dependent upon the vernacular architecture analyzed on Nigeria.

Abstract:
Edwin Maxwell FRY and Jane Drew are best known for their role in the construction of Chandigarh alongside Le Corbusier, however, their Indian experience was proceeded by a long career in West Africa that began during WWII and lasted until the end of the 50's. Fry&Drew were active in Ghana and Nigeria constructing an impressive amount of buildings: schools, universities, houses, villages, office buildings and museums. Their on-site experience was conceptualized in the book Tropical Architecture in the Dry and Humid Zones published in its final version in 1964. This paper aims to analyze the manual as an attempt to establish a cosmopolitan and modern design system specific for the tropical areas. An experimental and scientific approach that saw in climatic data a tool in the creation of a new rootedness of modern architecture not based on cultural analysis or vernacular reinterpretation but on the complex analysis of local conditions in order to provide inhabitants with suitable design solutions. Tropical Architecture in the Dry and Humid Zones as a manifesto of a regionalist modernism, two apparently opposite terms that find a reconciliation in a design system that seeks to build a new cosmopolitan modernity.

Abstract:
Vernacular architecture has been a subject of interest by scholars in different fields, views and perspectives. Some of such studies are on material, climate, morphology cultural behaviour and spatial needs of the people. The inclination of this research is on cultural behaviour and the use of space. This is because people’s cultural behaviour forms the foundation of vernacular architecture. However, most scholarly interests are focused on major ethnic groups with little interest on the minority ethnic group such as the Nupe ethnic group in Nigeria. Culture differs and so do the behaviour and the spatial needs of people. For a sustainable development to be attained, architecture needs to be tailored towards the cultural needs of the people. This study, therefore, embarked upon an ethnographic study to determine the basic domestic architectural spatial needs of the Nupe people, which entailed and eight months stay with the local people. The process of data elicitation included behavioural mapping and the conduct of interviews. A conclusion is drawn showing three spaces to be the most valued in the daily transactions of the Nupe community. They are zhempa, (courtyard) katamba (entrance hall) and kata (bedroom). The finding also showed that the values of spaces are not solely tied to tangible spatial utilization but also to intangible non spatial cultural values.

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 et à se mobiliser pour entretenir leurs bâtiments, et la présence d'une économie porteuse. Nos travaux montrent un affaiblissement rapide et potentiellement fatal, face à une mondialisation économique et culturelle. La conservation, autrefois préoccupation des communautés détentrice est maintenant reprise par les états modernes selon le nouveau système mondial de la patrimonialisation qui, lui-même, introduit des risques et est à l'origine de pathologies qui peuvent réduire l'impact des efforts de conservation. La solution semble être dans une meilleure conception et mise en œuvre de la patrimonialisation, reconnaissant que l'environnement bâti fait partie de l'identité culturelle du groupe propriétaire et que la conservation architecturale requiert une concertation étroite entre les différents acteurs afin d'assurer le développement de solutions techniques adaptées aux besoins des populations dans le monde contemporain. Des programmes de formation sont indispensables à tous les niveaux pour assurer le maximum d'implication des acteurs. Enfin, les actions de patrimonialisation devraient intégrer une conservation architecturale durable et appropriée par les populations, et qui reflètent les enjeux locaux et nationaux.

Abstract:
Cette thèse examine les pratiques architecturales et les dynamiques identitaires chez les Podokwo, Muktele et Mura des monts Mandara (Cameroun). Elle s’organise autour de l’hypothèse-cadre selon laquelle la logique pratique et fonctionnelle de la construction, de l’extension et de la transformation d’une maison évolue en tandem avec des considérations d’ordre symbolique, notamment la production des sentiments ethniques (Hodder, 1982) et la quête du prestige social à l’intérieur de la communauté (Duncan, 1982 ; Roux, 1976). En partant de l’approche développée par des auteurs comme Ian Hodder (2012, 2006, 1999, 1982), Daniel Miller (2010, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1987), et Christophey Tilley (2010, 2006, 2004, 2002, 1999), je montre comment la maison, à travers ses multiples usages, devient porteuse de plusieurs appartenances identitaires à un niveau sociétal et individuel (Bromberger, 1980). Pour cela, j’ai porté mon attention, non seulement sur ce que les individus font avec la maison, mais aussi sur la manière dont celle-ci construit à son tour l’identité des individus (Miller, 2001 : 119). J’ai par ailleurs centrée mon analyse autour de quelques évènements clés survenus dans l’histoire des Podokwo, des Muktele et des Mura, en particulier la descente en plaine (1963), l’exode rural et le fonctionnariat (1980) et la transition démocratique (1990). Ces évènements influent sur les pratiques architecturales et sur les discours identitaires qui en sont les corolaires.
This thesis examines the architectural identity dynamics and practices among the Podokwo, Muktele and Mura of the mounts Mandara (Cameroon). It is organized around the assumption that practical and functional logic that guide the construction, the extension and the transformation of house evolves in tandem with symbolic considerations, such as the production of ethnic distinctions (Hodder, 1982) and the quest of social prestige within the community (Duncan, 1982; Roux, 1976). Based on the approach developed by authors like Ian Hodder (2012, 2006, 1999, 1982), Daniel Miller (2010, 2007, 2005, 2001, 1987) and Christophey Tilley (2010, 2006, 2004, 2002, 1999), I argue that the house, through its multi-purpose uses, can become an active agent for the production of identity belonging, both at a societal and individual level (Bromberger, 1980). For this reason, I have focused my attention not only on what people do with the house, but also on how the house that people built, built also people (Miller 2001: 119). I have also focused my analysis on several key moments of the history of Podokwo, Muktele and Mura such as the plain downhill (1963), the rural exodus and civil service (1980) and the democratic transition (1990) that affect the architectural practices and the identity discourses which are its corollaries.
