OU student Ebun Faturoti, who became a famous architect in Nigeria, designed a proposed house for the New President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, established a few years before. The project is a well-balanced composition of volumes inspired by International Style motifs rather than organic architecture principles. The design solution consists of a series of structures and buildings. A ceremonial hall, that is the main building of the complex, is arranged between two courts in the middle of the composition.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-subtheme field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/gallery-section/goff-influence" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">The Goff Influence</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-theme field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">American School in Practice</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-material-type field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/material-type/mixed-media" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Mixed Media</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-subject field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/subject/class-project" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Class Project</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-creator field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Ebun Faturoti</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date field-type-datetime field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="1965-12-31T18:00:00-06:00">Friday, December 31, 1965 - 18:00</span></div></div></div> Mon, 10 Sep 2018 22:01:51 +0000 Anonymous 74 at https://renegades.libraries.ou.edu https://renegades.libraries.ou.edu/content/residence-nigerian-president-ibadan#comments
