Ejiné: My God!!!

Jason, the first page of your thread chows bandwidth!!!

No vex!

Beaf: We already know that. You tell more lies than Satan too.

Much more than satan! The guy likes to claim every username and ethnic group. SMDH!

^
shut up!

The national representative body of the Itsekiris pointed out the obvious and all you can call them is "thieves"? Beaf! Na real wa for you! Anyway, God will judge fairly! One thing is that its not only Ijaws that fought for the Niger-delta! Ilajes and Uhrobos protested few months ago. . .we dey watch!

Beaf: Every armed robber is protesting for amnesty.

Johndoe100: This is a childish attempt to deny the reality on the ground. 85 to 93% of the country's earnings come from oil, 5 to 6.5 percent com from VAT. Are you asking who contributes the .5%? Why would anyone care? Oyel is KING, and we have it.
Servile gratitude is the appropriate response from those who suck at the oyel b. reast.

WRONG!

London based architects produce above-expectation results with their professional approach

DOS Architects is a young practice with a growing reputation for delivering creative, innovative and seamless work both in the UK and abroad. DOS Architects' directors, Lorenzo Grifantini and Tavis Wright, both worked at some of the world's most prestigious Architectural firms before starting their own practice in 2004. Their intention was to create a new work environment in which their personal creative visions could thrive. Since then DOS architects has grown exponentially, and has completed private and commercial projects in a variety of countries, ranging from Europe to Africa and the Middle East.

They aim to always produce above-expectation results with their professional approach, cutting-edge technology and the imaginative flair they dedicate to each and every one of their projects. Be it a private residence in London or a large mixed use Master-plan in Riyadh (see images), their success to date rests on a strong understanding of the country they are working in fused with a close and intuitive appreciation of their client's needs.

From their competition winning church in Lagos to a large Hotel in Gabon (see images), [/b]they [b]respect equally the creative potential and the practical constraints of each project. The firms work methodology is underpinned by the relationships they have built up with specialist consultants, offering their clients an excellent range of top-flight structural engineers, costing consultants, lighting and landscape designers to ensure timely, cost-effective work where no detail is too small.

The team believe in active collaboration and committed communication at every stage and they devote to every project, however great or small, a passionate creative energy which sets us at the forefront of their industry.

Projects shown: Main: Catholic Church of the Transfiguration, Lagos 1. Souldern Road House, London 2. Mirage Masterplan, Riyadh 3. Taipei Arts Centre, Taipei 4. Duncan Terrace, London 5. Hoxton Square, London 6. LAP Hotel, Gabon

Saw this image on the site!

Na wa for Nairaland server!

bittyend: @Jason123

Is that the only park in Lagos?

I think they need to build more around Lagos.

Lovely pictures and videos.

Certainly not! I just love seeing Nigeria develop. Lagos is a city where WE can all be proud of as Nigerians! (there are other cities coming up like PH, Enugu,Ogun, Onitcha and Warri among others)

Great project! I truly hope it gets built!
Will be an instant Icon for the city of Lagos (which is in dire need of some architectural icons!!)

It will be located in Lekki (as usual! )

Whilst DOS Architects’ winning design for the Catholic Church of Transfiguration in Nigeria may appear very contemporary, it is intrinsically based on traditional principles of traditional Catholic Church design. As such, the main congregation Hall features a Latin cross above the Organ and altar; the hall has a nave and two aisles at each side which are all coincident with the main axis of the Church; a Latin Cross has been placed on the highest point of the Church’s structure, which it is hoped will become an icon for the city of Lekki and Lagos as a whole.

The project consists of an organic skin which, in one single gesture, becomes the roof and external walls of the Church, with the intention of enveloping and protecting the Congregation within. The main access is placed in the narrowest and lowest part of the building and leads into a spectacular entrance foyer, from which the visitor has views and clear access to both floors of the Church.

The main staircase in the entrance foyer divides the Church into two halves which are visually linked by the large atrium that traverses the building. The funnel effect within the entrance foyer reinforces the huge scale of the main Congregation Hall and the Chapel of Perpetual Adoration to either side. The main spaces for prayer have been designed to be peaceful, awe inspiring, and full of joy whilst also allowing the worshippers full and uninterrupted views of the Altar. The impressive glazed facades on both the East and western axis of the Church provide natural lighting and emphasise the height and scale of both areas of worship.

Set to be a prominent feature of the Lekki skyline, DOS Architects’ design for the Catholic Church of Transfiguration conclusively meets the brief set out by competition organisers. The aesthetically functional design will comfortably seat a 2,000 congregation in a naturally-lit, well-ventilated interior, offering excellent acoustics and a clear view of the altar for all worshippers with no obstructive columns. Additionally, a mother-care/crèche area for 30 people provides a community-focused approach, with a clear glass partition to enable parents to continue their worship uninterrupted with a direct view of their children.
