The Northern Nigeria is building with culture already, let them continue every other parts of Nigeria must not build like the North build. We are people different heritages and culture. This is not Northern Republic of Nigeria, but, Federal Republic of Nigeria. |

Very good idea. Even the ancient designs of the mud houses in the south can be modernised in a way that all the modern gadgets needed for today's living are incorporated while the structure still showcases these traditional designs. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I like the idea ( hausa building). But where do we start from, looking at Nigeria with different culture? |

Raydos:There are more western styled skyscrapers in China/Asia than anywhere else in the world. There is nothing bad in copying the west! They have a very rich and organized cultural growth. African countries that have followed the western pattern are not stoopid as you are trying to insinuate. It's just a question of copying something handy and good. Cultures copy to evolve. Again the same Asians you cited as examples have ditched their usual communist/traditional wears for well cut western business suits! Even the Chinese president wears business suits! Chairman Mao must be spinning in his grave! The argeument was that the western suit was more office friendly and more acceptable for business. Western styled buildings came down here with colonialism. We can start incorporating local designs by promulgating relevant policies.. We don't need to be this harsh on our selves over this. 2 Likes |

I am glad at least there are people talking about such issues. We blacks and africans like skyscrapers so much. If you watch Korean drama, you would see how they build their houses, you would see how their dinning rooms are built etc. The Koreans factored in their way of life in the design and building of their houses. But in contrast to the Koreans, in Igbo land houses that are being built now, does not factor in "the obi". |

Aconomist: Raydos: Thank you. Well said! But I don't expect much from a people who give their children foreign names, do not teach their children how to speak their local languages and name the estates they build Mayfair/Brooklyn/Miami Estate and other ridiculous names that have no association with the country because they think these are more "cool". Brain-dead, colomentality, self-hating people! 4 Likes |

Absolutely agree. Nigerian architecture is presently haphazard and poorly represented. If we have not developed a philosophy through the ages as a result of colonial rule and the effects on forging nationhood you will expect that the new city concept in the development of Abuja as a somewhat of a national rebirth would afford us the opportunity to project what we can call Tsditional Nigerian Architecture. But just look at the shabby edifices called public buildings and worse still are the privately developed buildings, estates and town settlements. An aerial view of the city leaves one very disappointed. 1 Like |

Raydos: No! It's not a big lie! To start with, Taipei 101 is in Taiwan and not the mainland. And that building is a one off in terms of skyscrapers with such designs. If you want to argue, I will post some pictures of random Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo or Shanghai skylines. But then I'm not against the good idea of incorporating local designs. That's is good and I said so in my earlier post, I never said they don't have buildings with local architectural imputs, I was replying a post that suggested that Asians insist almost totally on local designs. |

Fortunately there is an existing movement training Nigerian to think and be Afrocentric, master of their traditional culture and architecture. Their aim is to see the African skyline adorned with these similar beauties and even have the WAKANDA type of towns, cities and villages. the movement is called CPDI (Community Planning and Design Initiative) Africa. Very interesting. You can check them up at www.cpdiafrica.org
