    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.
