Abstract
ABSTRACT
For the formulation of a broad economy which will be internally viable; more attention should be paid to long term investments- To mobilize the necessary long-term fund,
the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) according to Alile (1987)is the "Invisible hand" that can effect this. Investigation however shows that: I After 25 years of existence the Nigerian Stock Exchange NSE has not fully occupied its place in the country.
II While the main branch in Lagos is housed in a 24-floor skyscraper flanked by commercial offices, the Kaduna branch does not own any personal building, rather it is
housed on a rented floor in an off—centred location along Kanta Road. The Stock Exchange has generally been regarded as an
elitist club the activities of which are hidden to the populace.Due to growing awareness in the market, it has been
anticipated that by the year 2000 A.D its present facilities will be inadequate.
Goals and objectives In view of the fact that more securities are becoming
quoted on the Stock Exchange and recent steps taken by the Federal Government to enhance its function, the thesis shall
seek to: I Identify those facilities that may be necessary for its function and propose a design to suit this function.
II To identify the reasons that may be responsible for the unpopular view held against the Stock Exchange and
thereby use architectural means in their redemption. III To integrate the building to the environmental context
of its site. Theoretical aspects of the NSE shall be de—emphasised
but emphasis will be given to operational aspects that affect the architecture of the building. Conclusion
Architecture still finds a place in advertisement, the thesis intends to use architectural means, symbols and
language in sparking a greater awareness of the activities of the NSE.
