Abstract
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.
