months Industrial Attachment Training undertaken at Lagos State Ministry of Housing in the
Department of Architectural and Building Services situated at Block 3, Lagos State Secretariat,
Alausa-Ikeja, Lagos State, from the month of July to December 2018 where I learnt a lot about
design, construction and site supervision. This helped me to improve on my design and it also
helped me to have a more practical knowledge in the field of construction. During my six months
of internship with the Lagos State Ministry of Housing, I was attached to the MASS HOUSING
and LANDSCAPING PROJECTS undertaken by the company, and as a result I was very
fortunate to be involved directly with various project designs and implementation.

The purpose that social media serves in the nurturing of young Christians has generated a lot of controversies – is it a tool for nurturing Christian discipleship among youths or is it an impediment in shaping the lives of young Christians?

The significant difference between housing and shelter is that the need for shelter births the idea and provision of housing.

Insulation reduces unwanted heat loss or gain and can decrease the energy demands of heating and cooling systems. It does not necessarily deal with issues of adequate ventilation and may or may not affect the level of sound insulation.

Quarrying is the activity carried out at the quarry. Having learnt a lot about stone in class, it was only logical to grasp a practical knowledge of this material so we visited the nearest and available stone quarry.

In general one can say that waste is ‘unwanted’ for the person who discards it; a product or material that does not have a value anymore for the first user and is therefore thrown away. But ‘unwanted’ is subjective and the waste could have value for another person in a different circumstance, or even in a different culture.

This was the beginning of forward looking architectural design with styles not based on previous building forms. Changes in construction techniques, especially the development of sky scraper technology, and a desire to create houses that fit visually into the natural environment influenced the developing styles of this era.

This paper expects to expressly clarify the idea of biodiversity, biocultural diversity and its significance to landscape design.
The research confronts the topic from different perspectives and builds up its very own outlook on the issue. By utilizing three chosen parks of rich social and natural centrality in the South Western region of Nigeria choosing Lagos as it is a mixture of various cultures.
The focus was to assess - the current condition of social and natural diversity in these parks, the perception and knowledge of the overall population on the subject of biocultural diversity. Questionnaires were intended to pose explicit inquiries so as to satisfy the targets of the research and the random testing technique was utilized for an all out populace size of 95 individuals over every one of the parks enveloping a wide range of individuals and culture.
The research proposes a couple of strategies to bring the subject into landscape students' educational program, the research likewise finishes up by featuring the advantages of biocultural diversity in our general public today.
