ACKNOWLEGDEMENT My utmost gratitude goes to the Almighty God; for the gift of life, also appreciations to my family Members, My parents Mr. Vincent and Mrs Caroline Ejike who have continued to provide for me to the best of their capacity. I am grateful to my elder brother, Rev. Fr. Blaise Chimezie Ejike, for His words of encouragement and moral support. A wiseman’s knowledge is like an ever flowing stream of good advice, that never runs dry (Sirach 21:13). May the good Lord continue to increase your wisdom and knowledge. The same goes also to my younger brother Ejike Kevin, a brother and a friend, brother your words of encouragement I believe have seen me through. To my sisters Ejike Chizoba and Ejike Chinwendu I extend my thanks for your various contributions and encouragement. Also great thanks to my indefatigable and ingenious supervisor and lecturer Dr. Daminaboh. F. who imparted in me the necessary knowledge, skills and techniques needed for the successful completion of this study. Also to friends who directly or indirectly contributed to the success and completion of this study. I am highly indebted to you. More still, I wish to express my unalloyed gratitude to the Department of Architecture, Rivers State University for granting me the rare opportunity to explore and make this research as it would be of great importance in our quest to delve into the future world of architecture.
