Abstract

Historically, culture has been identified with the creation of a „civilized state‟ and social cultivation that is the progressive refinement of social behaviour, life style and living spaces which in turn has an effect on the architecture of a place. Culture and recreation can be seen as a relationship that creates opportunities for people with different cultural backgrounds. However, Design increasingly struggles for a clear sense of definition which leaves one asking what culture really means today if it‟s no longer tied to our lifestyle. Furthermore, in the loss of our identity we reveal our lack of well-being that we are in need of more informed cultural identity to counteract the confused nature urban context.In the expression of cultural characteristics in the design of recreation centres, case studies have shown that Ilorin has a diverse indigenous cultural groups that most researchers and designers have not been able to communicate well in design to boost communal interest.
