Abstract: Sustainability in architectural design may be considered a huge centre of interest and or activities around which effective architectural designs revolve. The study tries to situate architecture as a profession and academic discipline, considerably concerned with designing of structures, buildings, and environment with utmost consideration for health and aesthetic implications. Again, the study, sees sustainable architectural design as architecture that seeks to reduce the negative environmental impacts of structures or buildings through improved efficiency and minimal use of materials, space, energy and ecosystem to achieve effective results. Visual arts is also discussed to highlight it’s importance to architecture and sustainable development. Primary, secondary and participant observation method of data collation were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Some of the findings include: values, standard, discipline are vital nutrients lacking in the growth and development agenda of Nigeria. Nigeria today, seems to favour tribe, idiocy over citizenship hence monumental retrogression in development and sustainable architecture. Insecurity, hostility and brutality underscore environmental threat and dearth in sustainable architecture. These were followed by conclusion and recommendations.
