THE EXTENT OF APPLICATION OF BIOPHILIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN INSTITUTIONAL BUILDINGS: A CASE STUDY OF BAYERO UNIVERSITY CLINICS
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. This hypothesis has been later proven by health and psychological researchers.
A literature review on the impact of architectural elements on the well-being of users of buildings
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.
Architectural Education Using Virtual Reality: A Case Study in Department of Architecture, University of Jos, Nigeria
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.
Application of Occupancy-Based Control in Building Energy Saving and Indoor Thermal Comfort
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.
BIM Innovation in SME Firms: The Impact of Developing Environmental Relationship
Facilitated by the rapid adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) across the globe, the Architecture,
Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is experiencing a paradigm shift in its routine. Consequently, its adoption
has brought a twist in both the environment and business procedures for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME)
Architectural firms in developing markets.
Architectural Approach to Reducing the Menace of Street Hawking in Kebbi and Its Environment
Street hawking has become a global phenomenon and has been common in Nigeria for a long time. This
affects all facets of the community, regardless of gender. Yet, the Girl-child's participation in this notorious behavior
is notably widespread in northern Nigeria nowadays, especially in Kebbi state's Aliero local government.
Exploring Heat Stress in Indoor Hall for Chess in Nigeria, A Study
This research work focuses on the evaluation of occupants’ thermal stress during the chess event
at the Nigerian University Games (NUGA 2022), with particular emphasis on advancing passive design
strategies for indoor sports hall environments.
Crime and Security Management: An Overview of the Role of Space Syntax Analysis
