The concept of Biophilia implies that humans hold a biological need for interaction with nature on physical, mental, and social levels, and that this connection affects our personal well-being, productivity, and societal relationships.

As urbanisation accelerates across the country, there is a growing need for sustainable and well-planned urban environments that prioritize order in the physical setting in a way that facilitates the health and well-being of the population.

This research explores the transformative shift towards ethical sourcing in interior design, responding to global concerns about environmental sustainability and ethical practices. Grounded in a comprehensive theoretical framework, the study delves into historical perspectives, ethical considerations in raw material sourcing, and the theoretical underpinnings of sustainable development, consumer behavior, and innovation diffusion.

Buildings' thermal functionality and effectiveness depend on the specifics of their designs, climate-responsive design criteria, how they are used on-site, and the specifics of their microclimate type and quality of their fabrics. In this research, four buildings with various system designs were the subject of an examination in the field.

This paper demonstrates how resilient design, architectural ingenuity, and socio-ecological strategies, can convert oppressive historical sites, to vibrant, adaptive public spaces. It is premised on Theo Lawson's transformational improvement of Lagos’ Freedom Park.

This study investigates the role and value of precedent analysis in the architectural design process of Nigerian universities. While precedent studies are a mandatory component of the studio method employed in design pedagogy, research into their effectiveness and application remains limited. This research examines how design mentors perceive the value of precedent studies in the design process, expectations from student case studies, and current practices across Nigerian architecture schools.

This study investigates the impact of shading devices on occupant thermal comfort in residential buildings within Bauchi Metropolis, Nigeria. Using a survey-based methodology, 120 questionnaires were distributed, with 102 valid responses analysed alongside a checklist assessing building orientation, form, shading, vegetation, and window placement1.

There has been a renewed conversation on thermal performance and thermal efficiency of buildings lately as a means of addressing the current energy crisis and series of environmental problems, this is because the building sector constitutes a substantial percentage of overall global consumption and demand for energy. Buildings generally, and residential buildings in particular consume a lot of energy for ventilation, heating, and air conditioning

The main source of indoor discomfort has been identified as high solar radiation entering through the roofs and ceiling layout. The synergistic combination of ceiling underlay and roofing sheet was critical in controlling internal heat imbalance in the tropics. Hence, this works examined the impact of lined and non-lined aluminium roofing sheet in the tropical buildings, Ibadan Nigeria.

The challenges of unguided housing transformations without adherence to stipulated guidelines in public housing estates has become a major concern amongst housing scholars in the global South Countries.
