• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Insurgency in north eastern Nigeria have produced hundreds of thousands of orphans who have no place to call home and few number of orphanages exist in the region which are not enough to cater for the needs of those orphans. Also previous works on orphanage designs lack the required provision of incorporating culture and traditional family setting in design of the facility which serve as a means of connecting the orphans with their cultural and social environment. This research work is built on the subject of integrating critical regionalism features in orphanage design. Critical regionalism offers a better methodology towards providing condition of authenticity in which a new architecture can be consciously originated out of the traditional architectural characteristics of a particular region in order to withstand the domination of modernism. The argument draws its background to the study of relevant literature. Reviews on the writings of prominent critical regionalist architects and theorists aided in the culminating of a set of features on which variables (directly related to the subject of critical regionalism) evolved.
