dc.description.abstractSince the evolution of human society, existed culture. Where the handing of opinions, beliefs and customs from generation to generation was practiced as tradition. Thus, the inheritance of culture by succeeding generations started from time immemorial as a continuity to the way of life of a people. One of such customs is traditional dance as handed down from time immemorial and is the act of using body movements to express one's feeling which may be sorrow or happiness. Right then existed a forum in every society for such cultural expression, known as "DANDALI" in Hausa. Which has now metamorphosised into the present day cultural centre. But, even with the rooted historical background in culture, before Nigeria attained independence in 1960, the issue of cultural consciousness, promotion, even development, was yet laced with a sort of obscurity, or negligence. The colonial administration, holding the baton of political power, had no interest in the question of cultural solidarity among Nigerians, unless in those areas where they felt would be of immediate or remote significaance to their political advanturism in the country. Untill independence Nigerians, for the first time ever, felt the need for proper integration, rooted in culture. Culture immediately acquired new meaning, a new definition as the solidarization of all previous regions into one socio-PoIitical entity. Indeed, the sense of unity and unprecedented ethnic of Social integration, among the over one hundred and fifty ethnic/tribal groups that constitute Nigeria, became so paramount in the the hearts of all. Therefore, providing an architectural design proposal as an effective instrument towards establishing harmony and awareness in cultural heritage for the people of Adamawa, Since charity is said to begin at home!en_US
