Abstract
Further to an earlier research on Schools and their thermal performances in Lagos, Nigeria, it was discovered that certain temperatures inhibit learning and at 27oC children in Lagos were still comfortable. It is an established fact that there is a relationship between the Environment and Productivity in previous researches. When a space is comfortable, it improves performance and vice versa. Comfort, Thermal, Visual, Psychological or otherwise, is a state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the environment or is a state of pleasantries. Comfort is therefore related to the mind and similarly the tangible or intangible environment. This research seeks to review the link between Culture and Learning. Is there a place of Culture – art and space, in the learning process of a people, in this case, Africans? How has this evolved over time? Sustainability is hinged on three main pillars; the Economic, Environmental and Social aspects of a society. The fourth pillar being culture, politics or religion. Culture and the arts and spaces are closely linked. Hence the aim of the study- evolution of learning spaces in Africa as a drive towards Quality Inclusive Education, one of the SDG goals targeted at developing nations such as Nigeria.
