dc.description.abstractThe form of any bank building is aimed at boosting the corporate image of the bank and often times an attempt to showcase the operational efficiency of the bank, this by the use of architectural elements such as forms, materials and methods. These elements have evolved over times since the inception of modern banking which have its beginning in Florence, Italy during the Middle Ages. The need to blend the functional space requirement, the determinist factor of the functionality of any architecture stability has made Bank building of today to have attractive and "friendly" appearance using modern and post modern expresions. As with most other architectural structures the tendency has been towards the replacement of "Brutalist" expressions with the more intimate and user friendly forms of The new architecture. Carefully following this trend, this thesis therefore stries to established as the canon for the determination the factor(s) manifest in this this articulation and presentation of representation of the changes traditions in Merchant Bank building. This involves modern and/or post-modern repression in which stability and aesthetics reconcile and harmonise with factors of the site at the micro-level, and the desire to achieve a balanced architectural composition and entity in harmony with its environment at the micro scale.en_US
