520			_aABSTRACT The contemporary pressures of modernization and western influence are having a significant influence impact on the vernacular architecture of several regions around the world. Many countries in recent times have seemingly put modernization as their ultimate goal at the expense of their cultural and traditional heritages in the pursuit of catching up with other developed countries. The necessities of the modern lifestyle have led to the transformation of major cities into metropolitan areas and turning their vernacular lifestyle into modern ones. Nigeria, a country with diverse ethnic groups expressing different cultural and traditional practices as well as architecture is not left out in one of the countries that have been deeply affected by modernization which was brought about by colonization. Most Nigerian societies have consciously adopted many aspects of the western way of life. The vernacular architecture of the Hausa society located in the northern region of the country has been subjected to a state rapid depreciation as a result of negligence which can be seen in Hausa cities, as most buildings reflect western culture and identity. To this end, this thesis discusses the integration of vernacular principles in contemporary designs by reviewing various approaches of integrating tradition in three (3) architectural movements: neo-vernacularism, critical regionalism and new classical architecture that support the relationship between architecture and its local environment and socio-cultural principles. Secondly, it analyses contemporary cases of buildings related with integrating tradition around the world that have encountered the same challenges and have successfully been integrated into their contemporary built environments based on the themes of context, culture, geography, time, technology, local vs global, stylistic architecture, and identity which are established based on Kenneth Frampton’s five points of resistance. This thesis reveals that the new developments in Hausa recent architecture may be built on recovering the environment through integration as well as modifying cultural and ecological concepts specific to the Hausa region to ensure an appropriate balance and coexistence between Hausa vernacular architecture and the new developments brought about by modernization. Keywords: Hausa Vernacular Architecture, Hausa Region, Integration, Vernacular Architecture.
