| dc.description.abstract | The problem of regional Identity in architecture is an issue of the transformation of indigenous architecture in to clinched limitations. The following questions usually arises: If an architecture is right for America, could it be right for Nigeria? What should be kept of modern architecture and what transformed to match new climates, cultural belief and tradition? If new ideas from abroad were accepted, which old or indigenous ones should be thrown out? or one should perhaps seek some fusion between the best of old and new, of native and of foreign. It is in this context that this thesis attempts to propose a viable design that is culturally acceptable(trully indigenous to Kano). An exploratory study has shown the different types of Hausa traditional performances as well as crafts. All the performances can take place in one or two places at a time, while the crafts have their different requirements in terms of space organisation which was also considered. Several factors were considered as regards choosing of the site although it was already been allocated for cultural centre yet studies were conducted to find out if the site is really suitable for the project and the study was positive. The design is proposed to suit both the culture and tradition of the people of Kano as well as the harsh climatic conditions as regards the planning. | en_US |
