The Value of Precedent Usage in The Design Process of Architecture Students in Nigerian Universities
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.
