Museum of Traditional Artefacts Ogbomoso: Advancing Challenges in Artefacts
No full textx, 75 pages, illustrations, hard backA Museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic: cultural or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing challenges in artifact preservation in museums, it is glaring that less importance is attached to the preservation of artifacts in Ogbomoso.This gives raise to the research on care and conservation of artifacts which will help increasing awareness of the people to attach importance to establishing a museum for the purpose of conservation.The purpose of this thesis is to propose a traditional museum that will solve challenges in artefacts preservation.In the design of a museum, it is ways depending on the level of psychology of the visitors.Fountains and statues could be positioned strategically within the museum premises, coupled with well landscaped and laid out site to make the environment scene Sculpture could be made on the building especially on the approach to make the building depict what it is meant for

It consists of 2,183 records spanning scholarly publications related to architectural education research from 1960 to 2024. The dataset includes key bibliographic details such as authors, titles, publication years, source titles, abstracts, author keywords, citations, DOIs, affiliations, document types, and indexing information. Additionally, it contains metadata on funding details, references, publisher information, and open-access status. This dataset enables a systematic analysis of research trends, collaboration networks, citation patterns, and thematic evolution in architectural education scholarship over six decades
Dataset for "Enhancing BIM Adoption in Nigeria's Construction Industry: A Conceptual Framework Integrating Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) and Institutional Theory"
No full textDataset Description
This study integrates the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Institutional Theory to address BIM adoption challenges in Nigeria’s construction industry. The dataset captures survey responses from 10 professionals (architects, engineers, project managers) evaluating drivers (e.g., efficiency gains, software accessibility), strategies (e.g., training, policy harmonization), and barriers (e.g., high costs, skill gaps) via Likert scales. The manuscript employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a systematic literature review (2018–2024) with expert validation through Delphi rounds. Findings highlight fragmented policies, resistance to change, and BIM’s alignment with SDG 9. The proposed framework offers actionable strategies (e.g., curriculum integration, enforcement bodies) to bridge technical, organizational, and institutional gaps, providing a roadmap for stakeholders to enhance sustainable BIM adoption in resource-constrained contexts
Work-Life Balance in Construction: Enhancing Job Performance Through Employee Well-being Strategies
No full textThis dataset comprises responses from 80 construction professionals in Lagos, Nigeria, examining the interplay between Work-Life Balance (WLB) practices and job performance. Variables include demographics (age, education, work hours, company type), WLB practices (e.g., flexible arrangements, parental leave, health programs), and job performance metrics (task speed, quality, adherence to timelines). Data was collected via structured questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale. Analyses included reliability testing (Cronbach’s α = 0.904), Mann-Whitney U tests (identifying significant differences in WLB practices between company types), and Spearman correlations (noting moderate links between parental leave/childcare benefits and performance outcomes). The dataset supports insights into WLB adoption levels and their organizational impacts in Nigeria’s construction sector
FMA Architecture Headquarters, Abuja: A Critical Study of Characteristics of Architects And Types Of Office Practice In Nigeria.
No full textxiv, 147 pages, illustration, hard copy.This study critically examines the characteristics of architects and the type of office practices prevalent in Nigeria. The research was driven by the need to understand how the personal attributes of principal architects influence the nature of their practice and how these practices shape the country's architectural landscape. The study adopted a quantitative approach utilizing a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The data collected focuses on variables like; the demographic characteristics of the architects, their professional background, years of experience, educational qualification, and approach to architectural practices. The questionnaires were distributed to architects across architectural firms in Abuja, Nigeria which revealed that most principal architects are over 45 years old, predominantly male, with mostly a master's degree.Bells University Of Technology
African Traditional Medicine and Sustainable Health Care System
No full textThis paper examines African Traditional Medicine (ATM) and Sustainable Health Care System. It argues that sustainable health care system is achievable by giving African Traditional Medicine its rightful position in sustainable health care discourse. The paper employed Qualitative Document Analysis (QDA), to access information and gain insights on ATM and sustainable health care system. The study identified various areas of applications of ATM to sustainable health care system such as environmental prevention, management of chronic diseases, and meeting the health needs of all at affordable cost. Fundamentally, the inclusion of ATM in sustainable health care debate will assist in the world journey towards universal health coverage. The study draws from the theory of Knowledge Democracy (KD), and Pluriverse Theory. The paper concludes that sustainable health care will continue to fail unless WHO include ATM in their quest for universal health coverage. In order to maximise the potential contribution of TM to health and well-being, policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and the general public can benefit from the information provided in this article
National Museum of Modern Arts, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Spatial Analysis of Selected National Museums in Southwest, Nigeria.
No full textx, 155 pages, illustrations, hard backMuseum showcase a diverse collection of artifacts and networks offering visitors a captivating journey through various cultures and periods. Spatial analysis is the study of the physical layout and design of a space and how it impacts the behaviour and experiences of people within that space. This research delved into the crucial role of thoughtful spatial design in shaping engaging and informative museum experiences. This study was divided into four key parts which are to identify the spatial layout in selected museums in South-west Nigeria; to examine the user experiences of the spaces in selected museums; to evaluate the spatial relationship of the functional spaces in selected museums and to propose a National Museum of Modern Arts in South-west for the State government, employing the best spatial approach in functional spaces.This study utilized both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.The qualitative approach was obtained through case studies using direct observations and the respondents perception was carried out by survey using a questionnaire tool. Through a comprehensive examination of museums spaces, this study investigated the factors that contribute to visitor engagement
Life Camp District Hospital, Abuja: Assessing The Influence of Regional Expression In The Regional Expression In The Architecture of Hospital
No full textx, 100 pages, illustrationsAfrican countries had unique ways of building structures before colonization.This study looks at the effect of regional expression on hospital architecture.Thus, considering how to use the resources available in that area to design and build a hospital that will be accommodating, physically sound, and provide patients with a sense of belonging and a peaceful environment, all while reflecting the region's culture.The ability of an ethnic group to express their cultural values through architecture raises the possibility that architectural forms and human self-awareness are linked. As a result, the social activity of construction leaves a cultural legacy. To gather information, the study will use the case technique in conjunction with non-participant observation.The research will also conduct a comprehensive literature review to investigate the relationship between regional expression and architecture, and documentary analysis will be used to evaluate the review
