Info of such are usually shared by few privileged firms and hardly published in the national dailies. however the NIA occasionally post some in their website, and again just a few firms know about them.

I was curious, What if we had a compulsory 1-2 year run, through Post University College of Architecture like we have the "law school" in designated regions of the country, where one could obtain his professional NIA seal and induction into the profession at completion of the theoretical and Practical courses prescribed.
It may just help in bringing Architects closer, imbibe seriousness in the feild, create teaching jobs for experienced architects as lecturers and curb the rigors of obtaining the seal to mention but a few.
Well, just a thought.

The Federal Government does not care how long the students spend at home.
Nigerian students should shape their future for themselves,
They have 5 days before the all important Nigeria - Tunisia match,  they could start by embarrassing the Federal Government by stopping that match

, not comfortable with my name being referenced in a beef or any sort of hostility
i thought this thread is all about "Home Plans for bungalows in Nigeria" a thread that has lasted 2 and
half years. Lets be civil and continue without the bad blood, it doesn't lead anywhere.
the world is such a small place, you may never know what we gain from each other tomorrow.

hate them both

A three bedroom bungalow with:
Features:
All rooms ensuite
Chapel/Study
Laundry
Visitors Wc

A 4bedroom and 2 bedroom flat unit.

illustrations of a 3 bedroom semi-detached flat

A 5 bedroom bungalow with added penthouse suite

Bungalows are quite interesting projects, have done loads of them,
however, land constraints tends to take away freedom of flair, expression and flexibility.
some illustrations of recent and old one's i ve done, (3d illustraions only)

kikeige:

Mahal,

Mahal, pls. kindly suggest something in the alternative for the size of land, that will still be able to meet the demand of rental duplex 3-bedroom bungalow and maybe 4-bedroom personal residence.

A 200 ft by 100ft perfect rectangular plot would be very suitable, if it's bigger than that, fine.

It is well!

What kind of country is this??
We are all criminals, Even if all the stadia in country
was used a prison for corrupt nigerians, there would be no one left to lock us in shakes head and walks away, thinking of how to run away from this damn country

@kikeige
maybe Larez is only trying to tell you that the plot would be tight going by your scope,

From your brief / scope of design compared to the size of plot,
you may not have enough greenery or any green areas left. that wouldn't be nice especially if your client is the one that loves good
outdoor spaces. bungalows usually consume a lot of landspace since they tend to develop horizontally, and for a,
5 rooms all ensuite? with a home office/ study
All rooms cross ventilated
1 living Room
1 family room
Perhaps with a Kitchen, pantry, store and laundry,
This should be a palace.

It's quite a challenging design, but the truth is, with the other scheme added,

iukpe:

On PS3

Resistance 2
Resident Evil
Infamous
Uncharted


On PC

Call of Duty - World at war
Call for Juarez
Crysis
Xplane8
Toca Racedriver 3

How can i get X-plane8 iupke? how heavy is it? would you sell a copy? is it on PS3?

Every Nigerian is a potential Criminal.

i think the FG should increase Tuition fees by 1200%

It would help run the schools effectively like other foreign schools.
come to think of it, some federal Universities still accept a paltry N12,000 (ie about $80)
how would the schools improve with this? there's so much rot in the system
just take a stroll thru our schools and see for yourselves, year in and out, nothing is done to improve the system
I think Nigerian students should give ASUU all the necessary support they can in this face off with the FG,
Students in most Asian, European and Islamic countries control and and play a major role in the country's
democracy and affairs and in most cases have championed changes in policies and the leadership of the country,
But it seem nigerian students are more inclined to rushing thru the system whether they grab anything or not, graduating and jumping into one
commercial bank or the other.
well, just my opinion,

afeezco:

Mine is June 7 but no one like me, if any feel free to call Tolu on 08052036972 is gone for 2009 but yet we are still alive we can celebrate

Me too, June 7th, my dad, 8th

i have this designed 3 bedroom Bungalow, all rooms en-suite with an Ante-room, chapel, Laundry and store,
but it may cost you b/w N4.8 - 5.5 million Naira depending on the location or builder,

@topup
There are very good firms in Lagos where you can do your year out placement. if I have your email I can send you contacts of people I know in such firms as AT Onajide, ACCL. You seem to prefer Lagos. Otherwise, If you want Abuja, I can give contacts in Habitat Associates. It's one of the topmost firms in Nigeria. Alternatively, you can simply send emails to these firms through their websites. They may be happy to consider you. I have just mentioned the places I have contacts in. There are other very good firms such as FMA (Femi Majekodumni Architects), ECAD Lagos.

You should also know that millions of other students in Architecture in Nigeria are looking for placements too
in the good firms, so you should be prepared to proof urself with perhaps a good portfolio
and skills that may be needed so as to give you an edge over others.

amongst the lot, i was really impressed by
ACCL and ECAD

It's possible for a fertile girl to get pregnant by swimming through a pool filled with seminal fluid instead of water.
i believe this was what happened in her case.

ArchiCAD, Art*lantis

truly-opal:


Reasons are ;

- hmmmm and the worst of all is d infiltration of all sorts of quack expitrates,

Well, i don't fully agree that they are quacks, i am really impressed by their works
from The Palms, Nnamdi Azikiwe International, MM2, Julius berger Head office, National Assembly,
The NCC headquarters, However, not being members of the NIA could cut them down to that. and so are millions of
OND, HND, BSC, MSC graduates that have failed to get their seals.

truly-opal:

Let me say somethin from d nija perspective, as a practicing architect here, im afraid nigerian Architect are heading towards extinction.

Truly- opal, God wont allow that to happen,
what's the way out/?

Nigeria:  there's always the discrimination btw The University grad and the Polytechnic graduate,

naijatoday:



According to him, “the people who run the economy of a country are not necessarily people with degrees from universities. This is why we give emphasis to the PTI to train people that we need. Our oil industries are suffering because we don’t have the right manpower.

Nonsense!!!!

Nothing works with the Nigerian Government and PDP leadership.

What's the fate of hundreds of employees under VN?

billions of dough have been spent re branding the PTI in warri, new vehicles, Infrastructure, buildings, vancancies etc, why leave it now?
