Building concept is a millipede, basically this was informed by its flexible and organ-
ic nature. A form without edges and that will also aid circulation, in this case is the
use of ramp just like frank Lloyd wrights’ Guggenheim museum.
Cultural center is an organization or a building complex that promotes culture and
art. It could be neighborhood community, arts organizations, private facilities, gov-
ernment sponsored or activist run.
The landscape emerges from the ground to merge with the building further blurring
the boundary between the building and the ground making it seem like a part of
nature

TRADE WINDS
The dominant wind directions are North – East and
South – West. This should be considered in the ori-
entation of the building.
VIEW CORRIDOR
These are possible views that can be created in
the building to be designed on this site. So a view
can be created to:
- The road and the bush bar adjoining site
- The river
SOLAR STUDY
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. At
mid-day, the sun becomes very hot. Therefore,
South – facing facades should be highly shaded.

INTRODUCTION
Bilateral bargaining has constituted the foundation of open
air markets for centuries, from peasant economies—such as
Athens Agora, Rome’s Forum, the medieval fairs and markets
in England, and the 1,000-year-old market in Morocco. Since
antiquity, cities throughout the world have established markets
to provide shelter for buyers and sellers and to protect and
promote the trade in fresh food. The following section sets the
framework for this report by considering the different types of
rural and urban retail markets and how they operate.
Factors that influence a market environment:
The efficient operation of retail markets is influenced by three
factors. The first is the physical environment, i.e. the market
premises, access, stalls, storage and equipment. Irrespective of
whether it is a street market, a shop, a covered market or a mo-
bile facility, all aspects of the development and maintenance
of the physical environment have cost implications. To maximize
financial returns the facility should be:
I. close to the customer;
II. designed according to the expected level of sales; and
III. adapted to the best preservation of the product being sold.
BRIEF
(A) Students are required to do a thorough research on market
decisions – the social-cultural and economic characteristics and
potentials of the community.
(B) The design should meet the environmental challenges and
also fulfill the modern needs of a communities open air market.
(C) The design should be an architectural master piece reflect-
ing:
-Functionality: Design should meet the requirements for the de-
sign type as well as the modern needs of the community.
-Aesthetics: Design ideas should be employed in marking the
design pleasing to the eyes.
-Structurally stable: Construction materials as well as work abili-
ty of the supports should considered as design ideas employed
should not be taken independent of the stability of the building.
-Energy efficiency: The design should ne depend solely on me-
chanical ventilation system s but on passive ventilation systems.
-Cost effectiveness: Necessary decisions made during the de-
sign process should pay attention to cost.
Market is one of the many varieties of systems, institutions, pro-
cedures, social relations and infrastructures whereby parties
engage in exchange. While parties may exchange goods and
services by barter, most markets rely on sellers offering their
goods or services (including labour) in exchange for money
from buyers.
Open air market is a public market place where food and mer-
chandise is sold.
The design should be well structured. A market that will transform
the physically of the temporal market into a proper open-air
market to serve the city.
(1) A market engaged in local and commercial activities includ-
ing informal vendors, food and goods stalls (not more than 1000
stalls) franchise mini marts.
(2) Support services: Admin offices, restrooms, food court, eat-
ery/cafes, tourist attractions, storage.
(3) Parking facilities: Access from streets & lanes
Attention should be paid to vehicular ramps where necessary,
delivery of merchandise, cleaning and couriering of goods and
info.

- Waste disposal
- Construction materials
- Promoting community
- Economically sustainable
FUNCTIONS OF MARKETS
Markets provide low-cot retailing facilities based on small-scale
operations and are typically found in the low and middle in-
come, higher density areas of cities and small towns and in the
centers of villages, rural areas. The main functions include:
- To provide opportunities for exchange of goods and for sales
by producers in rural areas.
- To provide at assembly markets, opportunities for the bulking
up and export of goods and produce to outside areas.
- To provide easy access to a wide range of produce for con-
sumers
- To provide an important means of generating a diversity of re-
tail outlets. In towns and cities by supplying low-cost space for
street vendors who use stalls or carts and do no therefore require
buildings.
USE OF SPACE IN MARKETS
The use of space varies substantially with the type of function it
contains. Some of the different sections include:
- Fresh fruit and vegetable trading areas.
- Meat, fish and poultry sales.
- Sales of cooked food
- Clothing and household areas.
- General circulation areas (internal + external)
DETERMING SPACE REQUIREMENTS
- Decide for different users (open or covered)
- Allocate stalls within market (2x2m or 2x4m)
- Allocate circulation space (Aisles should between 3-5 and
6m)
- There should be a maximum length of 12m between cross
aisles.

WASTE DISPOSAL
The collection and disposal of solid wastes from the market ai-
wals needs special consideration. Poor solid wastes manage-
ment measures including site cleaning can result in build up of
refuse and rodent/insect infestation. Solid wastes art most mar-
kets is mostly organic and sophisticated disposal systems using for
example on-site compactors are generally not financially viable.
Recycling and composting, involving the separation of organic
and non-organic elements. Other alternative methods could
be investigated such as compost and recycling of non-organic
waste by small entrepreneurs.
CIRCULATION
This includes vehicle access and traffic circulation vehicle access
to serve markets is essential for the efficient movement of goods
and the people delivering and purchasing them. With a small
market this may be achieved by a road through the market area
or by a perimeter road around the market site. For larger mar-
ket s a higher level of aces will be needed and this is preferably
obtained by a system of looped roads which are neither short
cuts to other destinations or dead end. To avoid traffic conflicts,
junctions of the loop roads to main roads should be T-junctions
(i.e. having only 3 potential collusion points compared with the
16 that occur with cross roads). T-junctions should be
as near as possible at right angles so that maximum visibility at
corners is obtained.
The interaction between pedestrian and vehicular circulation in
a market place should be such that visitor’s vehicles are4 parked
in separate parking areas. Delivery vehicles have direct access
to market stalls, but to reduce the impact of traffic in the market,
it is normal practice to arrange for deliveries to be made during
a restricted period before trading starts (usually the early hours of
the morning) and for rubbish collection and cleaning up to be
undertaken at the end of the working day. Traders are sometimes
allocated parking spaces. Special road signs should be made in-
dicating who is allowed to park and at what time parking is per-
mitted are needs for market development programme.
CONFIGUREATION OF PATHS
All paths of movement are linear in nature. The contour of a path
depends on transportation cars have less freedom to change
pace and direction abruptly unlike pedestrians and bicycles. So
pedestrian require greater volume of space than body dim.
- Linear: All paths are linear. A Straight can be the primary
organizing element for a series of spaces. It can be curvelinear or
segmented, intersect, have branches or form a loop.
- Radial: A radial configuration has linear paths expending or
terminating at a common point.
- Spiral: A single continuous path that tarts from a central point,
revolve around it and increasingly becomes distant from it.
- Grib: Has two sets of parallel lines that intersect at regular
internal and square or rectangular fields or space.
- Network: Consist of paths that connect established points
in space.
- Composite: In reality, a building normally employs a combi-
nation of the exceeding patterns, important points in any pattern
are centers of activity entrances and places of vertical circula-
tion provided by stairs, ramps and elevators.

The concerns and imperatives of Vocational Education and Training (VET) demand that education
should lead to total human development. This includes personal, intellectual, social economic, civic,
cultural, ethical and spiritual development. Vocational education is “instruction intended to equip per-
sons for industrial or commercial occupation. It may be obtained either formally in trade schools, tech-
nical secondary schools or on the job training programs or more informally by picking up the necessary
skills on the job without actual supervision.” (World Bank).
The world is witnessing an explosion in the field of knowledge, computers, information and communica-
tion technology (ICT), which has resulted in the workplace as well as the profile of the worker-now there
is a demand for a knowledge worker by the industry. The focus in demand from industry has therefore
seen a paradigm shift from that of a person trained in skills/trade to a person who has not only learnt
the skills but also the knowledge (theory) component. In the present-day scenario of rapidly changing
technological world, there is a demand for a knowledge worker who has the capability to understand
and appreciate the changes in the workplace as well as retrain himself as per the requirement through
short term courses.
In this context, lifelong learning is becoming increasingly focused in order to ensure that students receive
skills necessary to be productive knowledge workers in 21st century.

Concept: Capsule Design Architecture
Capsule Design Architecture is an iconic structure and unique archetype for con-
temporary prefab architecture. It has been applied in many works of architecture
especially in sustainable and renewable design.
The capsules of Nakagin Capsule Tower Project were designed to be individually
removed and replaced every 25 years. Slovakia’s Nice Architects used the con-
cept to develop prefabricated and environmentally-friendly capsules which have
become a going fad in green architecture. the Ecocapsule is a pod-like home
powered by sun and wind. Small enough to be transported pretty much anywhere.

DESIGN ANALYSIS
THE CAPSULE is designed as a system made up of different functional parts which
can be taken apart and taken to a new site. This leads to high efficiency and re-us-
ability and ultimately increases its sustainability
On-site Energy Generation:
It is expected that due to the abundance of solar power THE CAPSULE will be able
to generate clean energy via installed photovoltaic panels on the roof and skins.
This will further reduce the environmental impact of THE CAPSULE.
Solar Control:
In addition to the use of wood interiors to reduce interior temperatures of THE CAP-
SULE, it employs the use of high performance curtain wall system with R-values and
U-values that meets the requirements for best practice. Also, integration with verti-
cal timber fins will further help to keep the interiors cool during the hottest times of
the day.
Materials:
Wood interiors for both floor and ceiling will help keep the interiors cool.
Security:
A combination of a number of strategies will ensure the security of THE CAPSULE.
The strategies include: video surveillance and the use of reinforced concrete to
encase the refill room.
External Solar Shading System:
Movable vertical fins that automatically respond to the behavior of the sun via a
sun sensor for best energy savings.
Circulation:
Circulation is efficiently managed within THE CAPSULE. There is a clear boundary
between staff and customer circulation in each unit.

Brief
To rethink the dimension and shape of the Samsung QLED TV stand. can be
either freestanding or table-mounted, and the use of innovative materials is
encouraged.
Design should show that a TV is no longer a technology item, but a lifestyle
product. Designer should have a particular lifestyle in mind and design their
stand to match it. This could be minimal, eccentric or luxurious, for example.
consider the potential of Samsung’s new translucent optical cable, Invisible
Connection, when designing. It combines signals from multiple devices to
eliminate the tangle of wires usually found behind televisions – meaning the TV
could potentially be placed anywhere in a room.
THE WAVE - An integrated media convergence seamlessly creating a a visual
aesthetic that recalls an ever fluid medium for enjoying your entertainment
options.
The concept of THE WAVE is mainly inspired by an ellipse. The idea is to create
a futuristic yet eccentric furniture that is part of the everyday life. The main
form is the combination of two distorted halves of an ellipse.

SMALL AND FLEXIBLE
Huge and heavy furniture would cost more to transport. These
days most people are talking of living with less, think about
smaller, lighter and folding furniture.
DURABLE AND FIXABLE
IF a furniture is tough or can be easily repaired, this lessens the
chance that it’ll end up in the landfill and can be easily save
money in the long run, even if it is initially expensive.
LOW - TOXICITY
When a furniture is bought and brought home, it doesn’t just
sit there, no matter the material, chances are its emits gases
which isn’t necessarily bad. But synthetic materials are those
treated with synthetic substances can emit chemicals which
are toxic.
RECYCLABLE AND DISASSEMBLABLE
Monstrous hybrid that is inseparable amalgam of materials
should be avoided. It is a sign that they cant be repaired well.

WHAT IS A FABRICATION LAB?
It is a small-scale workshop offering personal digital fabrica-

controlled tools that cover several different length scales and
various materials, with the aim to make almost anything.
WHY A FABRICATION LAB IN ENUGU?
While AUTODESK fab labs have yet to compete with mass pro-
duction and its associated economies of scale in fabricating
widely distributed products, they have shown the potential to
empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves.
These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in a
way that are not practical or economical using mass produc-
tion. With the several schools of architecture in Enugu state, an
