ABSTRACT
The purpose of
this research work is to evaluate the various resources positions of what the
landscaping around the building so as to create a design that would help solve
the problem in various buildings and its environment which was viewed during
the case study carryout by the researcher.

INTRODUCTION
Land
is an affront to nature. When land is cleared, there every tendencies of
survival of plant life because it soon grows. Unless the soil is infertile or the climate outside the
range of life any strip of cleared land will soon be covered with foliage.
A
wild landscapes will be filled by willed plants are particularly attractive or
desirable. Control must be exerted over the growth on any section of earth. If
the site is meant for physical development all growing plants comes under the
management of the inhabitants/home owner. This brings to bare challenges of
landscape planning selection, and maintenance on the desirable on any plants on
land use. Hence aesthetics is a sine
quannon of a balanced environment. Order and beauty of mans surroundings
are as much a prerequisite to go human health as fresh air. Therefore landscape
design is a profession which applies the artistic and the scientific principles
to research, design and management of both natural and built environment. Practitioner
of this profession applies a creative and technical skill, scientific and
political knowledge.
In
the plant arrangement of natural and constructional element and human resources.
The resulting element serves as useful aesthetic, safe and enjoyable purpose.
Landscape
design can also be seen as an art and science of shaping mans need as well as
restricting of manmade element or features in order to bring them into a closer
harmonious with nature. It is an area of specialization that involves the
beatification of the environment. Landscape design collaborates with a related
discipline such as Architecture, geography, soil and civil engineering,
surveying, botany and artesian specialties.
1.1
STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
Nigeria as a nation has so many
problems when it comes to carrying out a researched work, in this researched
some problem encountered are:
v The
challenges for the quest of materials
were done during the harsh weather.
v Some
reference materials were unable to reach the researcher.
v The search for t a landscape design was rear.v There
was a problem of getting validated deals from the interviewees where case studies
were carried out.
v There
was no pedestrian walk way.
v There
was no amusement park for students as well as staffs.
1.2
JUSTIFICATION AND ARCHITECTURAL
SIGNIFICANCE
The significant of this researched
work is to solve the landscaped problem most buildings are facing in terms of
functionality poor relaxation and accessibility.
Architecture is a profession that has to do
with the creativity and designing of both natural and built environment for
human habitation. One of the most relevance of architecture is the construction
of natural and artificial element and bringing them a closer harmony with
nature it also deals with the specialization and space provision and putting
into consideration the people lifestyle which is one of the main avenue social
attraction and mainly full of intellectual development.
1.3
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE.
The motives behind this
research work is to observe the economic, social, and architectural structure
whether public or private in architectural view to proposed a well landscape
design for the Federal polytechnic Auchi, making the school of environmental as
a reference for the students and for staffs comfort and convenience. The
objective of this research work is to have a well and a functioned landscape
design which consist of all modern basic element to create suitable environment
that is properly arranged to suit climatic condition in terms of relaxation, ventilation,
lightening and convenience in order to increase the life span of human being.
1.4
SCOPE OF STUDY
The scope of this study is the
arrangement of natural and constructed element with the concern for the
conservation of natural, artificial and human resources, the resulting landscape
element serve as useful, aesthetic, safe and enjoyable purpose but also for
functionality an economic requirement.
1.5
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
To
have a concurrent and validated research work I wish to adopt a series of
methods in order to maintain good data.
v I
will undergo oral/written interview with landscaped architect or landscape
designer in Nigeria and foreign countries to be able to achieve principles
somas to create validated and tested researched work.
v I
will also embark case study where visitation will be made to some landscape
architect where photography will be taken, showing places of particular on how
the building look like, making sketches of already existing building to
landscape where necessary.
v I
will make the website and the academic library my reference point where I can
have access to reading books, journal, magazines, document, newspapers that
would be exhausted.
1.6
LIMITATION OF STUDY
·
The materials for carrying out my
research work were limited.
·
Lack of funds as a regard to the
research work.
·
There was no good mobility.

DEFINITION OF TERMS
Fore court:
These are open spaces which act as buffers between residential building and
non-residential building for courts are usually bounded by street it is
recommended that is planted parallel to tree.
Green belt:
they run along the perimeter of a neighborhood or town and set service to
buffer it surroundings not comparable such as highway corridor, or to buffer it
from agricultural area, green belt are less natural but it may include walking
trails.
Hedges:
hedges can be defined as a living fence made up of closely space planted; they
are used for protection enclosure and boundary marker or a back drop to shield
a view. It may be natural or it can be prime.
Garden:
These are area of land primarily used for growing flowers trees and shrubs, it
may be grouped into ornamental or vegetative plant e.g. provides shade
(protection) from the winds.
Lawns:
These are lands that are densely covered by ground cover.
Shrubs:
are small plants such as bushes and has several stem. The
stem arises from the base.
Climbers:
climbers are plants that have the ability to climb surface they are to sharpen
the sharp line of a building.
Water
fountains: Water fountains are source of spring water. It pours water into a
basin or jets it into the air supply drinking water and for decorative and
dramatic effect.
Parking lots:
These are parking space location that is designated either paved or unpaved;
parking space can be in parking garage in parking lots or in a city or street.
Drainage:
These are natural or artificial removal of surface and sub surface water from
an area. It can be a drainage above the ground level or drainage below the
ground level.
Pathways:
these are ways that constitutes or serve as paths, this can be accessible to
the building.
Amusement park: These are large
outdoor area with fair grounds rides shows, refreshment games of chance or
skills and other entertainment.
