This book contains the process of my Mas-ters thesis Project at Florida International University, Miami, FL.
It began in the fall semester of 2014 with the study of forms using field explorations, and continued into the spring semester, where I decided to transform the form I established into a building shell.

The form created by the field, transformed to becoming a shell for a performing arts / dance cen-tre in Lagos, Nigeria.
The shell came about by manipu-lating a basic form via twists, turns and bends in different directions and angles.
The site was selected because of the cultural dances that take place in different tribes of Nigeria. The various cultural dancers have dif-ferent styles and costumes, each based off a primary movement. The shell embodies the twists, turns, lines, angles and forms cre-ated by the human body during dance routines.
Nigeria is a developing country, and Lagos is the center of com-merce as well as a Major Port city in the country. Over the past years, the Lagos government has been updating and creating new Civil amenities. Part of this has been the reclaiming of land from the Atlantic Ocean by the shores of Lagos as well as De-veloping Ozumba-Mbadiwe to hold the Iconic buildings of the City, making it the Image of the Lagos city skyline.
The performing arts center is located on Ozumba-Mbadiwe road in Victoria Island, Lagos. Ozumba-Mbadiwe is one of the major roads in Victoria Island. It sits on the south of the Five Cowry creek and is home to Iconic buildings in Lagos such as The Civic Center, Civic Towers and Oriental Hotel.
