The field of architecture plays a pivotal role in shaping the physical environment and tackling the challenges posed by natural disasters and unsustainable practices. However, conventional architectural training programs often lack comprehensive education on disaster mitigation and sustainable reconstruction. This research paper aims to delve into the pressing need to integrate disaster mitigation and sustainable reconstruction into Nigeria's architectural training curriculum. By scrutinizing the existing gaps in architectural education, exploring the advantages of merging these disciplines, and proposing pivotal strategies for curriculum transformation, this study seeks to contribute to the advancement of architectural education. The findings of this research project will provide guidance to educators, professionals, and policymakers in their endeavours to develop a more holistic and responsive architectural training curriculum.
