Jos, Plateau State, NigeriaContinued Project DescriptionDifferent materials were employed in different stages of the design, for the foundation, it is proposedthat car tires filled with concrete and large bamboos serve as a frame system to hold the whole building together.Majorly, compressed earth bricks were used for the exterior walls and interior partitioning for security reasonsand also to keep heat from the interior spaces. Corrugated roofing sheet is used placed on a bamboo frameworkand strongly tied together in grid form. Other materials used in the interiors are local handmade carpets, woodenboard for the ceiling and floor, bamboo for some of the interior furniture, with painted decorative motifs. Itis estimated that the cost of construction ranges between 2000 US Dollars to 3750 US dollars or its equivalent inNaira as most of the materials are locally sourced.The concept used in the design is based on the Hausa traditional architecture and it’s called “the conceptof triple space”. The triple space concept tries to separate the living area in Hausa traditional architecture intothree stages; they are the public area, which includes the living room, ‘zaure’ in hausa language, it is the externalreception that accommodates guest, they ensure the safety of the host and one important feature of this publicarea is the ‘dakali’ which is considered the first level of hospitality. Then the second of the triple spaces is thesemi-private space, ‘salemuck area’ this houses the master area, dining and the garden or the courtyard. The headof the family unit is called ‘turaka’ which can be likened to the master bedroom and the location of this room isbased on the ruling and supervisory possibility and also to defend against any intruder. And the third and themost important of the triple spaces is the private area, ‘hameli area’ it is the family area, and it houses the wifeand children. The peculiarity of Hausa architecture is that it is influenced by the need to separate the men fromthe women and also protect them in case of danger which is why the room for the women and females are situatedaway from the main entrance and also allows the mother to look after the children, especially the female ones.A sense of community plays an important role for the people. Therefore, the need for open spaces suchas a courtyard or ‘rumfa.’ This space can be where the women gather, join games for children, a place for prayersand other rituals and ceremonies. In addition to this, a kitchen was provided which is usually separated from theliving area to protect the building from fire and also heat transfer to neighbouring spaces, this was well addressedin the design solutions. There was also a space for keeping livestock and farm produce. The space for this wasseparated from the main building but is positioned close to the exit door for easy accessibility from the building.In conclusion, the design incorporates the modular form of design while also ensuring that the aim andobjectives are achieved. As much as possible the drawings are well detailed as it also in itself describes the intentof the designers. It is affordable, modular and can easily be duplicated in any part of the region. This design, ifactualized, can restore hope to the displaced people. It is not only comfortable, but it will also appeal to theiremotions as their shelter needs.JINKAI Initiative Shelter Competition26
