THIS IS A DUMB-ANALYSIS...We are not trying to be intelligent in our analysis. We have simply taken

all the data we could get from the cheapest sources i .e. newspapers

and the internet, and analysed them in the light of what is going on in

the country today. We are not trying to be intelligent; this is not a time

for such showmanship. We are trying to, and quite rightly too, see the

situation as it is and see how this can affect and create a future for us.

We are trying to create new knowledge for the continuance of our

craft, and this is in i tself extremely urgent.

17,000,000 HOMES, N65TRILLION17million homes are needed, at 65 trillion naira, to alleviate the housing deficit

that currently plagues our country, which grows, at about three million people

per year. She also reiterated that 80% of Nigerians live in inadequate houses.the announcement. . .A u g u s t 2 0 1 1

FLIP OUT THE SPACE:

IN OUR TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE, COURTYARD SPACES

WRAP AROUND HABITATION.1It is our assumption that typical African Space was a courtyard wrapped around a few dwelling

spaces. It is our express assumption that the typical African home would have been covered with

a roof but for technology. Therefore the house should be a free space for activity.

TO CONSTRUCT NOTHING COSTS NOTHING...

GEOMETRY:

MAXIMUM SPACE. MINIMUM SQUARE AREA.3If it is a box, then it has not been properly geometrically determined. There would be residual

and unused space at the centre that cannot be allocated to any use. What we do to try to reducethe pressure on the design and the geometry usually is to try to achieve maximum space from

minimum square area. Construction is floor footage. The more square meters built the more

expensive the dwelling.

ROOF:

THE SPACE OF THE ROOF WAS NOT FILLED WITH TRUSSES

IT WAS A PART OF THE STRUCTURE.

Nowadays in a bid to cart off rain, roofs have become bolder and without anything to fill it.

Usually roofs are a wasted creep space.

THEREFORE THE SPACE IS A FREE SPACE. TO CONSTRUCT ONLY

THAT WHICH IS NECCESSARY. TO CONSTRUCT NOTHING COSTS

NOTHING...

COMPONENTS. ALLOW THE COMPONENTS TO FLOW INTO EACH

OTHER TO REDUCE DUPLICATION
