The architecture industry has a significant impact on the environment, and the circular economy (CE) offers a promising approach to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

The study navigated the landscape of hard-brand and soft-brand architectural products as avenues for entrepreneurial growth within contemporary Nigerian architectural practice.

Rapid urbanisation, escalating energy demands, and climate change underscore the urgent need for sustainable architectural practices that integrate economic and environmental performance.

Nigerian architecture graduates face persistent unemployment and underemployment, while conventional client-driven practice offers limited absorptive capacity.

Architectural training and practice in Nigeria have long been confined to two narrow domains, building designs and construction supervision.

With more than one hundred (100) sites, the research identified such as Obudu Cattle Ranch, Benin Kingdom moat, Olumo rock in Egba, Abeokuta, Osun-Oshogbo sacred Grooves, Osun State, Oduduwa Grooves, Ogbunike Caves, Ikogosi Spring in Ekiti and Ogbunike cave.

This study examined the economic dichotomy between concrete money generated through architectural entrepreneurship (archi-preneurship) and traditional oil money in Nigeria. The purpose was to investigate the untapped potential of archi-preneurship as a vital contributor to economic diversification.

The high mortality and morbidity rates of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to an explosion of research on studying the dynamics of the survival and transmission of its causative agent, as well as other airborne pathogens. This has resulted in a plethora of information on the role of building design in the spread of microorganisms associated with respiratory diseases. Consequently, it appears that in most settings, the construction and maintenance of residential and commercial buildings did not prioritize the risk posed by airborne pathogens, and thus were ill-prepared for the likely occurrence of a respiratory disease outbreak.

Maintenance is a key requirement for buildings to operate at their maximum efficiency throughout their intended lifespan. This study examined the consequences of building maintenance management on the longevity of the structure through the medium of a literature review. The study is purely a review of documented evidence hence data for the study were obtained from journal articles, manuals, reports, databases, and other published works.

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.
