CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD HOUSING

🏡The home must be airy and well-ventilated and naturally lit: Wall openings (windows and doors) must be sufficient and strategically located for maximum airflow and light pe*******on.

🏡The design of the interiors should be ergonomic, this means the design and measurements should be in relation to the human occupants. For safety, solid walls as well as a high roof are required to keep the interior cool.

🏡The material used in construction should be of good quality and right for the climatic conditions of the building location.

🏡The height of the headroom/ceilings should be at least 3 meters for comfort.

🏡Cooking, eating, sleeping, bathing, resting, learning, and storing should all be done in discrete or separate areas. If the house is small, though, the same single room might be utilized for a variety of functions.

🏡The house's sanitary system should be in good working order. A house without proper sanitation is no house, it will surprise you to know that a lot of houses in Nigeria fall short according to global standards.

🏡A reliable water delivery and storage system is required to ensure that good water is available at all times.

Hi Fam,

Today let’s take a little study into ARCHITECTURE, let’s call it Arc 101, this is the first knowledge I ever learned in school of architecture, if you are going to be here with me for a long while I may as well put you through.

WHO IS AN ARCHITECT?

An architect is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of BUILDINGS.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PRACTICE ARCHITECTURE?

To practice architecture means to provide services in connection with the design and construction of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings that have human occupancy or use as their principal purpose.

WHERE DID THE WORD ARCHITECT EMANATE FROM?

Etymologically, the term architect derives from the Latin architectus, which derives from the Greek (arkhi-, chief + tekton, builder), meaning: CHIEF BUILDER.

So next time you see an ARCHITECT do well to expect from us what we can offer, our Job description is vast, however we cannot do the Jobs expected of other members of our team, but we can and should supervise other members of the team till the project is completed.

What is the misconception you had about architects before now? Care to share? I will be glad to shed more light on that in the comments section.
