Life Camp District Hospital, Abuja: Assessing The Influence of Regional Expression In The Regional Expression In The Architecture of Hospital
(Bells University of Technology, 2023-08-12) MUHAMMAD, Maryam Dantani; Dr. O.A. Alabi
African countries had unique ways of building structures before colonization.This study looks at the effect of regional expression on hospital architecture.Thus, considering how to use the resources available in that area to design and build a hospital that will be accommodating, physically sound, and provide patients with a sense of belonging and a peaceful environment, all while reflecting the region's culture.The ability of an ethnic group to express their cultural values through architecture raises the possibility that architectural forms and human self-awareness are linked. As a result, the social activity of construction leaves a cultural legacy. To gather information, the study will use the case technique in conjunction with non-participant observation.The research will also conduct a comprehensive literature review to investigate the relationship between regional expression and architecture, and documentary analysis will be used to evaluate the review.
Cultural Centre Ota:An Architectural Exposition of Hybrid Cultures
(Bells University of Technology, Ota, 2016-07) ADESINA, Damilola Omusi; Arch. E.A. Ayo-Vaughan
The thesis focuses on embracing the history and culture of the indigenous Ota people and uniting the growing population through the design of desirable spaces. The major research consideration for the project resides in creating an exposition of the Hybrid culture within the Ota region of Ogun State, Nigeria. The research was necessitated because of the ever-growing population: a lack of awareness amongst the growing population, of the newly evolving culture of the environment in which they reside. An analysis of the Ota Culture and its development forms the background for the research, starting with an identification of the general nature of the culture in Ota, Ogun state and narrowing down to the predominant culture of the larger group (Yoruba) that occupy the region. Identifying their elements, symbols and significant signs that form their culture in a bid to generate a suitable design. It is this new identify that the people of Ota would hopefully accept and identify with through the use of architecture. To celebrate this newly evolving cultural community, a cultural center is proposed.

This research was done based on the phenomenon of the impact of architectural development using Alagomeji Yaba as a case study and also showing how diffreent material would help promote sustainably architecture. The outcome of the research revealed that there is significant relationship between architectural development and societal growth and disconnectedness. The study used a survey research design and a qualitative research design, using the purpose sampling.Questionnaire, as primary tool for data collection were randomly shared among the respondents. The data acquired were examined descriptively and presented in percentage frequency distribution tables, oppositely, the discovery of this study showed that architectural development contributes a lot to environmental/societal development, this research has also shown that urbanization is not the sole responsibility of architectural development as other factors can be considered. However architectural development like a shopping mall would help promote security, networking and socialization.

Mixed-Used Facility, Ikoyi Built Environmental Impacts Of High-Rise Buildings In Kagos, Nigeria.
(Bells University of Technology, 2023-08-12) OLAJIDE, Paul Chukwuebuka; Dr. T.E. Adebakin
A city's visual identity can be greatly impacted by high rise buildings because of their distinctive aesthetics and history. Missed use development and community involvement are given top priority in new urban-ism which combines various land uses into a single building.. In mixed use development, design zoning is essential to ensuring smooth transitions between spaces and effective use of amenities. This strategy encourages seamless transitions between residential commercial and recreational areas and fosters a feeling of connectivity. High-quality multipurpose facilities must be developed to improve land use due to land scarcity and cost.Due to a lack of space in cities and metropolises, tall buildings are rapidly expanding and providing uniform stability and security benefits. These structures are essentials to contemporary urban design because they have more structural elements and building components than other buillding types.Mixed-use high rise structures are essentials combine residential units with commercial activities by combining living areas on the upper floors with commercial areas on the lower floors.
