Abstract

It is quite paramount to understand the need and importance of sustainability and landscapes. In the designs and patterns of landscapes, approaches to identify and quantify landscape sustainability must be utilized. In religious environments including churches, landscapes differ, with varying adoptions of landscape elements. The aim of this study is to assess the sustainability of landscape designs in three selected Anglican churches in Ibadan. The methodology employed was qualitative approach, and data was collected from primary sources. The study revealed the levels of importance that have been placed on landscape design in these case studies for varying reasons. Hence it is recommended that there is a need for a rejuvenated sustainable landscape design strategy that would be incorporated from the beginning in the wholistic design of a church.
