Abstract
Since the creation of man, there has been continuous transformation of the environment for convenience, at an almost unlimited pace. This process has become faster in the last 50 years, especially in areas of civilization and city planning. The implication is that when man creates, there is usually a destruction of the natural, forgetting that man and the rest of nature need to co-exist in harmony with each other. Architectural Design on the other hand, attempts to make good all human tendencies and activities meant to destroy the age long relationship that existed between nature and man. The paper attempts to look into natural surroundings of man, and finally proffer suggestions on how nature and man will be close as in the good old times of early man. The paper therefore, aims at highlighting how architectural design can reduce the gap between Nature and transformation activities, hence creating a harmony.
Highlights
Architecture is neither a recrimination of cultural evolution nor a dark critism of the errors that have been committed since critism of the errors that have been committed, since architecture and city planning moved against nature
3) To determine how Architectural design can reduce the gap between nature and human activities to create harmony
The Department of Environment (DOE) (1999) looked at Urban design in Britain as a relationship between buildings and streets, squares, parks and other open spaces, which make up the public domain
Summary
Architecture is neither a recrimination of cultural evolution nor a dark critism of the errors that have been committed since critism of the errors that have been committed, since architecture and city planning moved against nature. The “glass box” process on the other hand, sees design as a logical process and decision sequence This process forms the background of the traditional Architectural Design Process comprising analysis, synthesis and evaluation (Broadbent 1973; Jones 1981). Evaluation is summarized by Jones (1981-P63) as “testing to discover the consequences of putting the new arrangement into practice” This three- stage design process forms the basis of other modifications like the five-stage design process of Royal institute of British Architects (RIBA) – Initiation, preparation, proposal making, Evaluation and Action. It is pertinent to stress here that; the design process should de-emphasize producer oriented result and emphasize consumer sensitive This will go a long way to involve the final user in the design process at each stage. 3) To determine how Architectural design can reduce the gap between nature and human activities to create harmony The objectives of the study include: 1) To determine how designing could affect surrounding features 2) To harmonize Architectural design with surrounding features as a means of improving comfort and reducing cost. 3) To determine how Architectural design can reduce the gap between nature and human activities to create harmony
