Abstract


This paper deals with Climate change and how it has impacted on the Nigerian Architectural practice. It discusses the effect of climate change on architectural design as well as how Architects design buildings that meet the social, economic, and environmental needs of the people it serves over time and changing needs. Since climate is changing and the effect on the built environment can only be reduced and not totally eliminated, there is need for Architects and other professionals in the building industry to produce buildings that are sustainable. While this situation poses a major challenge to the practice of architecture, there arises the need for designers to combat it through improved building design. The paper concludes by suggesting ways to combat the effect of climate change through design solutions.

Keywords: climate change, Architectural practice, design solution, sustainable.
