Received: 05 Apr. 2019 Accepted: 20 Jun. 2019 Published: 05 Jun. 2019 ABSTRACT: Paintings in Nigeria are characterized with various indigenous forms and materials which differentiate it from its counterpart all over the world. Over the years, there have been issues of identifying what makes Nigeria painting in form and content. However, this paper focuses on the highlight of the indigenous forms in Nigeria painting with a view of bringing into bear what constitutes pattern of forms from different geographical sphere of Nigeria. This paper observes the traditional symbols and elements that are found in indigenous Nigeria art forms that are used for the purposes of ethnic identification in Modern Nigeria painting. The study established that there is a wide range of regional artistic forms that are indigenous to Nigerian culture. In traditional paintings in Nigeria, all these regional forms are reflected in our works which the materials are locally sourced.

Received: 20 Dec. 2018 Accepted: 15 Apr. 2019 Published: 05 Jun. 2019 ABSTRACT: In today's life, human population growth is accompanied by an increase in fossil fuel consumption, which is a major source of conservation in nature. Energy conservation is one of the principles of sustainable architecture in which the architect is required to design the building in such a way as to meet the building's requirements Fossil fuels are minimized, but since the need for unconditional comfort and convenience has led to a growing need for energy in the domestic and industrial sectors, architects and designers of the building have taken it to meet this need and in parallel It considers the protection of the environment and fossil fuels. Today, human beings are pushing for better solutions and better solutions. For optimal use of energy, the use of intelligent building materials and materials in today's buildings is a timely response to changes that make the building more durable and enhances. It is possible that the discovery of intelligent materials is practical for architects to use this material, which is the most important advantage. They are encouraging the optimization and intelligent management of energy. The object of the study is to investigate the present research through objective observation. In fact, research has been conducted on the basis of a rational method and an analysis and description of the achievement of the research objectives. The method and method used are the research of the library method and the examination of written documents.

Culture and art have come from the very beginning of mankind, along with human life, in order to calm down humankind, and what comes out of mind in different arts and in different ways. With the advancement of mankind in various arenas and sciences, art, in turn, was subject to change and in various parts of the earth's human races, the craftsmanship of buildings and handicrafts was made in caves. Meanwhile, art in the Middle East from ancient times was the cradle of human civilization and the creator and developer of human beings in various fields, including art. From ancient times, especially after the arrival of Islam, Iran has witnessed progress in various fields of literary culture, especially art and architecture. In addition to the art of building and architecture, the creation of motifs in the tiling of mosaics etc. Handmade carpet art is one of the characteristics of recognizing the art of the land of Iran, especially the territory of Azerbaijan. Tabriz is a Persian carpet garden with the texture and development of a variety of carpets in different designs with a fringe in the range and worldwide name in different parts of the world. It is worth mentioning that this ancient city has an exhibition or museums in which architecture along with art witnesses the display of authentic Iranian and Islamic art and architecture. In the post-industrial and post-modern era, we are studying and designing the spaces needed for the place. In addition to an indicator for the city of Tabriz, we have a very small footprint in reducing the heating of the earth and using indigenous and nature-friendly materials.

Received: 10 Sep. 2018 Revised: 05 Dec. 2018 Published: 15 Dec. 2018 ABSTRACT In the present article, the collocation of the Fractal Geometries and Voronoi Algorithm has been proved in line with the designing of garden’s digital architecture and it was made clear that the designing of the ancient four-segment gardens is considerably matching with the contemporary architecture which has come about subject to the effect of computers and software. The present study is a qualitative research of descriptive-analytical type and it has been conducted with a glance at the history of Iranian gardens’ designs and their delineated geometrical analyses concerning the structural philosophy of Voronoi and Fractal algorithms. The primary goal of the researcher is showcasing the timelessness in the designing of the Iranian garden so as to prove that the prior designing has been in accordance with the novel patterns of the contemporary architecture and it can get the paradise manifested like before in a corner of the earthy ground in today's machining world. It can be stated as a part of the obtained results that the idea of exhibiting water in the garden and the system of water transmission to the most distant spots in the garden tries depicting the ancient imaginations of the previous architects about Voronoi algorithm considering the use of the shortest path which is a perpendicular line drawn towards a dot on a straight line. Moreover, the use of four-segment garden’s basic module and its division in an internally descending manner displays Fractal geometry in each of Voronoi levels of the garden’s plots.

Received: 27 Feb. 2017 Accepted: 20 Jun. 2017 Revised: 25 May. 2018 Published: 05 Jun. 2018 ABSTRACT: Design concepts or principles such as „Form follows function‟, „Beauty in usability‟, or „Attractive things work better‟ suggest that a positive correlation exists between aesthetics and functions of a building. Windows are designed probably for aesthetics and daylight in spaces of a building. However the design of windows for adequate daylight may be antithetical to that of aesthetic enhancement. This study sought to ascertain the effect of window form and position on, and the correlation if any, between aesthetics and daylight in spaces of a building. 143 respondents in four groups who were mainly undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in Architecture were the respondents in the study. Six simulated elevations of an existing building with different form and placement but same window area were ranked in order of aesthetic pleasantness. Six architectural models of a typical room in the building were constructed with the window forms and placement as on the simulated elevations. Day-lighting levels were observed with lux meter outside, and at 16 positions on the floor of the simulated rooms. Mean daylight factors and daylight levels of in the rooms were calculated. Spearman‟s Rank Order Correlation Coefficients were employed to ascertain correlation between aesthetic rankings of the elevations and respective daylight factors. It was found that window forms and positions affect both aesthetic rankings and daylight factors in rooms of the buildings. Correlation coefficients of +0.94 were obtained in three of the four ranking groups, while the other ranking group recorded a coefficient of +0.77. The study concluded that the correlation between aesthetics and day-lighting through window design is at least appreciable and positive. It was recommended that windows form be rectangular with geometric proportion toward „the golden ratio‟

Received: 30 Apr. 2018 Accepted: 15 Jun. 2018 Published: 30 Jun. 2018 ABSTRACT This paper examines the architectural design and planning of the residential apartment of the great Ibadan icon, businessman and philanthropist. The architecture is neo-classical and the building boasts of at least eighty five living spaces (parlour and rooms). The Adebisi mansion is a symbol of Ibadan-Yoruba material heritage. The people of Ibadan had great respect for the patron of the house Giwa Adebisi and this is confirmed in the fact that his memories are preserved in legend, songs and poems that enunciate the man’s wealth and influence. These legends and songs that accompany his home in Ibadan is rarely found elsewhere in Yoruba society. The paper discusses the grandeur of the Adebisi mansion and concludes that the building is of significant historic and architectural heritage value and thus makes a worthy material for preservation.
