Adaptive architecture via sustainability, modularity and technology integration, delivers adaptable answers to environmental and economic demands. Currently, Nigeria’s economic index: with inflation escalating to 26.00% by 2024, real estate contributing 5.20% to GDP in Q1 2024, and construction 4.01%, stress the necessity, for approaches of this type.

The population of Lagos is on regular increase which is estimated to cross 30 million marks by 2030 according to National population commission statistics. This would increase the demand for built environment meeting sustainable Development goal 11 (Sustainable cities) in line with International Union of Architects (Uia) 2050 vision to actualize Architectural projects that are Carbon-free and low energy thus leading to the choice of the Research topic A sustainable mixed-use vertical with emphasis on minimising carbon emission and energy efficiency as a means to having a built environment that contribute positively to climate change.

School grounds serve as vital learning and recreational spaces that contribute significantly to pupils’ physical, cognitive, and social development. However, in many Nigerian public primary schools, these spaces are underutilized or inadequately designed to support holistic education. This study assesses the effective use of primary school grounds in the selected study area, focusing on patterns of pupil engagement, environmental quality, and design functionality.

For sustainable learning to take place, a learning center must offer a comfortable, healthy, secure, approachable, well-lit, well-ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing physical environment. The United Nations has seen the need for quality education and coined the phrase “Sustainable Learning” which refers to the integration of play and creativity into learning.

Understanding the level of students’ satisfaction with the quality of off campus lodges they stay is highly valuable for enhancing academic wellbeing and productivity. This study assesses the level of satisfaction of students’ lodges in Malete Community, where the Kwara State University is located. A total of 240 students were selected for this study, using random sampling method to conduct oral interviews and distribution of questionnaires to selected respondents in selected lodges.

Construction plays a crucial role in developing a country's infrastructure, yet the industry faces significant challenges in managing construction material waste, predominantly generated from the demolition of structures. This waste impacts project costs, profitability, and the environment. Common waste materials include concrete, sand, aggregates, steel, bricks, glass, electrical fixtures, and tiles, with less common materials like paints, PVC pipes, and glass fixtures also affecting profitability.

This study investigates the effect of roof design on rainwater harvesting in rural Toshia, Yunusari Local Government, Yobe State. Using cluster sampling, 40 households were randomly selected from four streets (A-D). Field observations, questionnaires, and rainfall data analysis revealed that sustainable roof designs significantly impact rainwater harvesting potential.

Architecture is a comprehensive and multidimensional discipline that incorporates diverse components, each of which holds significant importance in influencing the design and operational aspects of a structure. These fundamental elements serve as the foundational constituents of architectural design, significantly contributing to the overall visual appeal, functional efficiency, and user engagement of a building.

In 2020, the world faced the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in widespread lockdowns. This situation necessitated a rapid shift towards virtual communication, forcing society to adapt to this new reality. Consequently, there arose a compelling need to explore technological innovations for enhancing architectural education.

Research on smart energy saving is becoming famous globally in different sectors. The current research is anticipated to lower energy demand and consumption in the building industry, which has already reached 49% globally and is projected to rise by 2% yearly, incurring significant monthly costs.
