Abstract
The concept of Green Architecture has rapidly become an important component of tourism.
In resort design Green Architecture has also become very prominent, although the principles
of Green Architecture have not been fully integrated into most waterfront resorts in Nigeria.
This proposed thesis focuses on the application of Green Architecture principles in the resort
design in order to integrate the design with the environment.
This research attempts to identify the various techniques of applying the principles of Green
Architecture to water front designs by examining and assessing case studies carried out to
analyze the extent to which Green architecture principles have been applied to existing
waterfront resort designs. This information will then be used to define and create design
guidelines for the proposed Ibeshe Island resort.
From the case study research method that was adopted, findings reveal that Green
Architecture principles have not been fully utilized and applied to existing waterfront resorts
design.
Aspects of Green Architecture principles arc important to resort design in coastal areas
which are characterized under hot humid zones, these principles enhance the relationship
between the resort and its environment.
