Job opportunities, urbanization and infrastructural development are achieved through the execution of construction projects. This study assesses the impact of construction activities on the built environment of Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. Qualitative research approach using non-participant observation was utilized. New building and road construction projects were observed in Ota, Ogun State. Findings revealed that construction activities have both positive and negative impacts on the built environment. The positive impacts are very significant such beautification of the streetscape. Air pollution especially raised dust, and noise pollution are the most significant negative impact of construction activities. The study recommends that sustainable construction methods should be implemented to significantly reduce the negative impacts of construction.

Introduction A model is the physical representation of a concept, whether realistic or abstract, ... more Introduction A model is the physical representation of a concept, whether realistic or abstract, with the intention of modifying, viewing, testing, and conveying its design (Phev, 2009). Through physical model making, designers explore their conceptual ideas and develop the creation and understanding of space (Salama & Wilkinson, 2007). Buildings are three-dimensional in nature, hence representing it with a scale model makes sense the most, because when compared to other forms of representation, it is the closest to reality (Moon, 2005). It is a miniature of the real thing, showing what the finished product may look like and ensure that it can be built. Hence, if a picture is what a thousand words, it is not out of place to state that a model is worth multiple of presentation drawing sheets. The fundamental assumption for this statement is collaborated by Megan Werner, in her book Model Making, where she explains that the two-dimensional drawing leaves room for subjective interpretation whilst the three-dimensional scaled model is complete in its representation as it allows one to observe, analyze and project-it is objective (Werner, 2010). Kanya Phev also aligns with her opinion stating that with the use of a model, it is easy to see the design holistically without having to flip through a stack of different images (Phev, 2009). Today's experience in architecture depicts the usage of sophisticated computer modelling and photorealistic renderings in architectural schools and practices. Though the reason why designers still use physical models in today's digital age remains unclear (Lei et al., 2014), physical models still features as an important part of presentations with students and the clients. Whether realistic or abstract, they are powerful communication component .Giving others the chance to view, discuss, and edit the design. Allowing different person sees something completely different, making them more engaged and open up discussions (Moon, 2005). From various pitches and presentations, in spite of the highly polished renderings presented, the clients and jury will always gravitate towards the model, no matter how crude, because physical models tends to enable quicker and more accurate comparisons of building forms (Lei et al., 2014). A proof that models have a tangibility that other presentation methods do not have. Which gives models it relevance in design and presentation till date (Moon, 2005).
