Abstract
In contemporary architectural discourse, the utilization of materials to enhance users' spatial experience holds significant importance, particularly in the development of public spaces. This study explored the role of materials in enhancing users' spatial experience in the design of a Cultural Centre in Lagos, Nigeria, with a focus on promoting environmental sustainability. Through a comprehensive examination of finishing materials commonly employed in building design, the study aimed to identify their impact on spatial experiences and users' satisfaction levels. The methodology adopted a mixed-used method which involved a combination of literature review, case studies of selected cultural centres in Lagos, and user surveys to gather qualitative and quantitative data. The analysis was conducted to assess the extent of material utilization, users' satisfaction, and the overall enhancement of spatial experiences. The sample size comprised a diverse range of cultural centres within Lagos, ensuring a holistic understanding of material applications. Findings revealed the significance of materials in shaping users’ spatial experiences and suggested strategies for promoting environmental sustainability through material selection and design practices. The recommendations derived from this study emphasized a user-centred design approach that prioritizes the satisfaction and well-being of users by selecting materials that enhance spatial experiences and contribute to a sense of comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
