Sürdürülebilirlikle İlişkili Bir Yerel Mimari Çalışması; Kuzey Nijerya Örneği

Abstract

Sürdürülebilirlik kavramı yıllar geçtikçe çevreyi ve ekonomiyi daha fazla çöküşten korumak için mimarların, tasarımcıların, planlamacıların ve paydaşların ilgi gösterdiği önemli bir konu haline geldi. Çevrenin korunmasında, halk için barınma ve barınma sağlarken sürdürülebilir düşüncelerin uygulamaya konulmasını sağlamak için özen gösterilmelidir. Günümüzde pek çok insan yerel mimariyi arkaik olarak görüyor ve yerel mimarinin sürdürülebilirlikle ilgili önemli tepkisini ihmal ediyor. Yerel mimarinin yeri, çevre dostu, uygun maliyetli ve minimal modern teknolojiyi kullanan, ancak kullanıcılarının iyiliği için gerekli termal konforu sağlayan bu temel sürdürülebilir hususlardan bazılarını sağlıyor gibi görünmektedir. Bu araştırma çalışmasında, Kuzey Nijerya'daki yerel mimari, nitel araştırma yaklaşımı, ilgili literatür araştırması dahil edilerek analiz edildi ve sürdürülebilir önlemlerin vurgulanmasıyla sonuçlandı ve bu önlemlerin modern konut ortamına dahil edilebilmesi için çeşitli yollar önerildi. Halkın kültürünün, ekonomisinin ve ikliminin sürdürülebilirliği. Çevre, din ve kültür, Kuzey Nijerya'nın yerel mimarisine önemli katkılar olarak belirlendi.
