    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.

    Drug Rehabilitation Center, Badagry, Lagos State (Architecture As A Tool for Rehabiltation and Resenttlement)
    (Bells University of Technology, 2016-05-20) AKOLA, Oluwafemi Ebenezer; Arc. Ade ADEWOLU
    The worldwide struggle to proffer functional solutions and possible preventive measures to drug/substance abuse and addiction has been going on for ages. Pharmaceutical industries have been on more than a decade long search for a cure for addiction without any major breakthrough, leaving most experts torn between various methods of approaching substance addiction. The orthodox methods of treatment for drug addiction is by the seclusion of the addicts from the society or the combination of both in-patient and out-patient system to aid in wholesome rehabilitation. However, this thesis proposes that architecture can be uses also as a tool to create a controlled environment promoting rehabilitation, resettlement and that also allows for community integration helping to establish a conducive standard for addiction rehabilitation. This is possible because the effects of factors such as sound, light, color, privacy, views, and even smell, texture and finishes can be employed using architecture to promote a healing environment and also psychological healing of drug addicts. Ultimately, this thesis introduces the concept of an integrated community rehabilitation and wellness centre in one of the most notorious urban environments in Western Nigeria, Badagry. The city in popular for being a major settling point for drug smugglers, largely due to its proximity to the Seme Border. The idea is to demonstrate that a healing environment can be enhanced using architecture and natural environment as a tool for reconnecting inhabitants with their environment and ultimately, rediscovering themselves.

    (Bells University of Technology, Ota., 2022-08-09) ADEJOH, Jonathan Ojonugwa; Dr. Adebakin T.
    Poor sound management and control of huge places is a problem that affects most large spaces. everyone must be able to see stage well and hear the presenter or performer on stage, so large halls are necessary. in real world, music has equal importance as light. Light gives humans a visual connection to the outside world, sound separates them one from another. The facts that architects and designers are continually coming up with design solutions and address the challenge of poor room acoustics and sound management in large spaces is one of the primary reasons we now have auditorium that are shaped in such a way that the audience will be close to the sound source and free from noise to the greatest extent possible.
