dc.description.abstractThis is an attempt to create a stable and permanent pastoral community. To attain this goal, we integrated pasture with architecture. Our focus is on the pastoral nomads of Nigeria, particularly on those found around Guyaki in Gombi Local Government Area of Adamawa Stale. The pastoralists are also citizens of Nigeria and have the right to be part of the Nigeria society. It was investigated and seen that pasture is the surpassing force, of all the forces that influence their lives, both human and natural, thus overtime, their lives has been controlled by pasture. We now want to apply our knowledge of architecture to empower them by giving them a habitation, so that they can lake over control of their lives and change the situation (Nomadism) that had caused their marginalization in the Nigerian society. We pointed out and discussed the relevance and contributions of these great legends to the Nation and also the need to assist them in improving and modernizing their trade (Animal husbandry). We synthesised the product of written literature and field-work to understand their present situation. We went further to analyse their culture, socioeconomic selling, and historical background, as well as demography. We also appreciated their present physical environmental selling more especially the concept of "Wuro" Fulani dwellings or homestead, and explored the possibilities of incorporating this concept in our new design of a modern pastoral community. We further identified their family structure and its relationship with the environment and finally, evolved a habitation that respects their culture, economy, as well as changes in demography. It is intended that this work will serve as a model in situations where needed, and also for peasants who want to build. The work has been therefore executed in two major parts: (a) The thesis report (b) The architectural design proposal the architectural design proposal invariably is the up-shoot of a thoroughly synthesized thesis report.en_US
