Abstract
The Bajju people who are commonly referred to as Kajes are found in the
central region of Nigeria popularly referred to as the Middle Belt.
The people, just like most other tribes of the African continent have mellow
. peculiar traditional architecture.
The objective of this thesis is to research into Bajju Traditional
Architecture as regards to its settlement patterns, house forms, functions, and
spatial organisation of space.
Further more, the research work will go into evolving a valid, meaningful
and realistic Architectural proposal for the Agwajju (chief of Bajju)in Zonkwa,
Zango-kataf local government headquarters, Kaduna State, Nigeria.
This is hoped to serve as a model of the Bajju Architecture and to the
Bajju people in modern terms.
finally, it is hoped that, the Bajju Traditional Architecture should not be
allowed to completely disappear as result of either external or internal forces. It
should be preserved, maintained and improved not only to portray the intelligence
of our fore fathers, but also to transmit cultural heritage and to serve as a
community's asset in particular and that of the nation in general.
