Abstract

This chapter accounts for the relationship between culture and space which has significantly resulted in housing transformation in culture-sensitive communities like Nigeria. It identified the need to concentrate on human social systems in providing public housing spaces, which requires a threshold due to the diverse background of prospective inhabitants. It went further to relate the living feature of the housing form which is measured by its morphological composition. Thereafter, consideration of existing users’ practices in projecting design indices was suggested as a way out.
