Use
of digital tools such as websites, portals, apps, etc to facilitate school
management and administration is increasingly being embraced in Africa. What is
already common place in Europe and America seems to just be picking momentum in
these parts due to obvious social and economic reasons. The advancements in
information technology affecting several walks of life has always been
pioneered by the western civilizations leaving us in Africa playing catch-up; a
game which we seem to be very good at. As heavy consumers of information
technology products, consistently developed by others, the gap in technology naturally
positions Africa as a huge market for such technological products.
JUST3DIT - NIGERIA'S #1 SPEEDO 3D ENGINE - A Review
Just3dit.com.ng is an innovative platform where Architects and Builders are allowed to order a very speedy rendering of their on-going projects after signing up with their basic information. The idea of such a platform is to challenge the time factor attributed with production of Architectural three dimensional views to its barest possible - 24 hours.
One can initiate such order from a personalized dashboard by uploading floorplans of the work in any format available. The accepted file types include .dwg, (preferred) .rvt, .skp, .jpg .png .pln After uploading the floorplan the customer is prompted to make an advance payment after receiving a quote. On receipt of the payment, the model is generated within 12 hours and submitted to the customer for his review and approval before rendering which is the final step. The excellent shot 3D views are generally ready in less than 24 hours of receipt of payment.
AN EVALUATION OF BUILDING HEIGHT EFFECTS ON THERMAL COMFORT IN HIGH-RISE OFFICE BUILDINGS IN THE TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT
PROPOSED TITLE OF THESIS An Evaluation
Of Building Height Effects On Thermal
Comfort in High-rise Office Buildings in the Tropical Environment
SYNOPSIS
INTRODUCTION
Nigeria as a developing economy situated in the
tropical climate zone is faced with a number of economic and environmental
challenges when it comes to the development of her housing sector. High-rise
buildings provide a borrowed but welcome solution to some of these challenges
but however must be adapted to suit our own climate and weather conditions. The
problem this study is concerned with solving is that of thermal discomfort experienced
in high-rise office buildings in the hot humid tropical environment mostly due
to arbitrary transfer of western Architectural styles. This study aims to
evaluate the possible influence of increase in building height on indoor
thermal comfort in high-rise office buildings in the study area with a view to
understand the behaviour of high-rise buildings in our climate and thus provide
guidelines for the future design of such buildings in the tropical area. The
research gap this study intends to fill is easily observed in the plethora of
literature from research works addressing related issues like thermal comfort
in low-rise office and residential buildings, building height effects on
outdoor thermal comfort of a city, but none has actually addressed the possible
effects of increase in building height on indoor thermal comfort in high-rise
office buildings within the tropical environment. The objectives to aid the
achievement of the aim above include: Survey of existing high-rise office
buildings in the study area and their constructed heights, empirical assessment
of indoor thermal comfort in the sample high-rise buildings at different floor
levels during working hours, qualitative assessment of indoor thermal comfort
in the sample high rise buildings at different floor levels during working
hours, use of statistical analysis tools to compare results from the empirical
and qualitative assessments and statistical analysis of experimental results to
establish significant relationship(s) between building height and indoor
thermal comfort (if any).

48 LAWS OF ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTING
e-book review
by Author
The book 48 Laws of Architectural Consulting is an all-time classic collection of industry codes and ethics made for the sound and meticulous Architect who is eager to make an undying mark in his profession.
This book is a sequel to the main title; Learning to Be an Architect (published 2014). Both titles have the welfare of the aspiring Architect as the underlying theme.
Much controversy however have surrounded the release of this second part, 48 Laws of Architectural Consulting owing to it's large volume and frantically auto-suggestive mode of instruction to the reader. You will find it an interesting read, while you'ld love to make reference to it every now and then.
