Historically architectural forms have largely resulted from man struggle with
adverse climatic condition. Today, in our technological age, we have been able to make
any area of planet habitable since interior and exterior climatic control can be achieved
by way of natural/ artificial heating and cooling system. This advancement in
construction technology has contributed to worldwide uniformity of architectural and
disappearances of district/ regional types of housing. Climate is a necessary stimulus for
human life.
The need for better environmental condition is one of the major reasons for the
existence of the building. The apparent human environmental requirements are for lights,
air and warmth in addition, sound must be considered since it is indispensable in every
activity. For comfort and efficiency, the human body requires a moderate rate of
environment condition.
This report contains a detailed illustration of climatic condition of Akure in the year
1998; the primary data was collected from the Ondo State Government Agroclimatological
and Ecological Monitoring unit, Akure. The data was use as bases for
analyzing the architectural problems and design recommendation for Akure.
