 Ologunwa, T.P & Fadairo, O.O

 2019

This study is an experimental research done in the department of Industrial Design, in a view to look into the possibility of re-using recycled P.O.P for the production of ceramic mould. In achieving this, samples of disposed P.O.P mould were taken from a dumping site, scraped, dried, crushed, and grinded into powder. It was further calcined at different temperatures of 120oC, 130oC and 140oC.The calcined samples were made into moulds and used for casting decorative pieces. At every stage tests were carried out which suggested that the recycled P.O.P is reusable, therefore observed that P.O.P moulds after being recycled can be reused in order to reduce waste.

 Production Of Bone China Ware Using Locally Sourced Raw Materials In Nigeria

 Ologunwa Temitope Peter & Fatuyi Olusegun Adene

 2016

Bone china ware is one of the white body ceramic products that utilizes raw bone as one of its major constituent. Bone china which was widely accepted and presents a high value market over porcelain was firstly done by Josiah Spode. This product is found in local market in Nigeria and is not produced in the country, despite the abundant availability of the raw material in producing them. The quest to produce bone china wares locally necessitates the study. This study thus investigates the availability of bone which is the major raw material in the production of bone china. The bone was processed through calcinations to make it suitable for ceramic use. Three different compositions were produced through experimentation from the materials using slip casting method of production and were analyzed based on the qualities of bone china. The composition that exhibits the best quality of bone china was identified composing of 50% bone china, 20% kaolin, 15% flint and 15 % feldspar. Thus, the composition is thereby recommended for local production of bone china ware.

 The State Of Interdisciplinary To Ceramics Towards Technological Advancement In Nigeria.

 Ologunwa, T. P.

 2014

Pottery practice which can also be referred to as traditional ceramics is the art of making different products ranging from hygienic pots to tableware using clay and fired to harden them. Today, pottery has metamorphosed into ceramics which is not only seen as an art of using clay alone to produce wares, but as the art and science of making and using solid article composed of organic, inorganic and non-metallic materials that are fired. The interdisciplinary studies through scientific experimentation of clay with inorganic and non-metallic materials, has uplifted the phase of ceramic art/design in the developed countries. However, the state of ceramic practice in Nigeria has not in practice embraced interdisciplinary studies. This study adopted survey research using descriptive approach in focusing on interdisciplinary field of study of computer science and Chemistry as it could be synthesized into the craft based ceramic practice, to promote speedy accomplishment of ceramic products in design approach, quality and uniformity towards technological advancement of ceramic practice in Nigeria.

 Ibiwoye T.I., Ologunwa T.P, & Kashim I.B

 2014

One of the policy thrust of the government since the Independence of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.on 1st October 1960, has had education at the front burner of its development plans. In 1980, the civilian administration of President Shehuilhagari established 5 universities (if technology among whicli is the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. This was to prepare the country technologically and scientifically to face the challenge of national development. As part of the University's efforts to be, able to meet up with its vision.that is, to be the best university of technology in the' world. Six different faculties have evolved to date, and are referred to as Schools with various Departments. The School of Environmental Technology took off in 1989 and currently has all the Departments that constitute the built environment including Industrial Design. The Industrial Design Programmefully took off during the 199311994 academic session. The Department has its focus on the use of modern technology at developing design prototypes in the area of Graphics, Textile and Ceramics for the purpose of mass production that recognizes the inculcation of indigenous design elements. Since its programme also emphasizes entrepreneurial aspects of Product Design, it has contributed significantly to the environmental sustainability of the aesthetic landscape of the University in various ways. This paper is aimed at highlighting various contributions that the visuals generated from the Department of Industrial Design had made to campus beautification and the impact it has left in the students psyche such as been able to face the market challenges that addre.sses solving the theoretical problem of landscape and environmental aesthetic'S after graduation.

 Sustainable Hausa Design, Culture And Usability: A Reflection On The Art Of Northern Nigeria.

 Kashim,I., Ologunwa,T.P., & Ogunlade,B.A.

 2014

The Hausa states were collection of independent city states situated in what became Northern Nigeria. The leadership of the Sokoto caliphate by Usman Dan Fodio led to conquering of the other Hausa states thereby creating a united centralized state with united set of people under the Muslim Fulani Empire. The Northern Nigeria was a British colony from 1900 as a result of 1885 Treaty of Berlin which ceded Northern Nigeria to the British on the basis of their protectorate in Southern Nigeria. The Islamic influence in all the sphere of life of the majority of the people from Northern Nigeria have greatly influence their socio economic activities with emphasis on how art, design and culture have interplay effectively. The need arose to evaluate the participatory developmental use of design that is broadly recognized and acceptable as universal visual and culture oriented business conducted across all disciplines from multi-dimensional and multi directional characters. This paper closely studied the design application from the Northern part of Nigeria with emphasis on culture and Development thesis generating such questions as: does certain cultural trait promote economic development, does economic development still in certain cultural trait and finally if culture and economic development anchored on design concepts are relatively autonomous. Conclusively responsibility of design symbols in the context of visual image producers as well as to day market economy in cultural industries such as printing, multimedia, audiovisual, architecture, visual and perform art, sport, musical instruments advertising and cultural tourism are appraised.

 Appraisal Of Ceramic Facing Bricks: A Case Study Of Neighborhood Market In Akure, Nigeria.

  Ologunwa, T.P & Kashim, I.B

 2014

Th e earliest form of buildings constructed by man was the use of mud; perhaps the concept was adopted frominsect and animal, using mixture of water, mud and grass to shelter. Th e trend of modernization brought aboutdiff erent usage technique of mud until the era of burnt bricks, which are fi red to high temperature. Th e fact stillremain that burnt bricks, which are ceramic materials, used in masonry construction is regarded as one of thelongest, lasting and strongest building materials used throughout history. Moreover, its myriads of advantageson the building appearance in the face of climatic change, which causes building deterioration, cannot be overemphasis.Th e quest to make life comfortable for the market women in Akure metropolis was sort in the use ofceramic bricks in facing of the neighbourhood markets not only for aesthetics, but also to minimize the eff ect ofhuman activities carried out in the market on the building appearance and the climatic changes. Th is paper focuseson the substantial roles played by ceramic bricks to rendering and painting on the appearance of the building inthe tropical region by considering its environmental friendliness to give an enabling environment and comfort ina building.

 Temitope. P. Ologunwa* Tolulope. L. Akinbogun Isah. B. Kashim

 2013

Most small scale ceramic industries depend on imported raw materials among which are opacifiers because locallysourced ones are not adequately processed. It has been observed that refined tin oxide is expensive despite the factthat it is abundantly availability in Nigeria while a lot of bone laid wastes which can be recycled to produceopacifier. A comparative study was made on the physical properties of opaque glaze produced locally with bone ashand that of processed tin oxide when mixed with transparent glazes at different percentages using tri-axial blend. Theresult proved that 7 to 9 % of cow bone ashes with transparent glazes made a good composition in achieving anopaque glaze. The success of this experiment has reduced the dependency on tin oxide as ceramic glaze opacifierwhich has been expensive to procure and has given ceramic artist the platform that would allow paintings usingceramic oxides that could be attractive and competitive which is seldomly used in the country

 Challenges Of Glaze – Ceramic Production In Nigeria: From Materials To Method.

 Adelabu O.S, Ologunwa T.P & Akinbogun T.L

 2013

The significance of glaze application in the finishing of traditional ceramics cannot be overstressed. Aside functional and mechanical qualities, a well-finished glaze lend aesthetic values which in turn add to the perceptual value of the clayware. Despite the teeming market available for a wide range of ceramic products, a substantial amount of its products is still being fed by foreign countries. The slow pace in the capacity development of ceramic cottage industries and institutions in Nigeria can be attributed to various factors among which are under-utilization of materials and inadequate techniques to enable effective production. From the perspectives of glaze materials and techniques, this paper examines the clog in the wheel of progress towards maximizing the untapped potentials for glazed ceramic productions with specific case studies drawn from the survey conducted in selected areas in Nigeria. The outcome of the study revealed the gap to be filled in order to boost glazed-ceramic production in Nigeria.

 Development And Assessment Of A Locally Designed Fish Smoking Kiln Using Insulating Refractory Materials.

 Adelabu O.S, Omole F.K & Ologunwa T.P

 2013

Smoke drying among other traditional methods has remained a choice means of preserving fish products, one of the cheapest sources of animal protein in Nigeria. Among the locals, the most commonly found fish smoking facility is the open top/barrel type while few people have sought for an enclosed structure to achieve more effective heating. Often, the shelf life quality and hygienic value of the smoked fish is largely dependent on the handling and processing facility. While inadequacies in the process which often lead to wastage had been generally noticed, the existing local facility/techniques certainly call for improvement. This paper reports on an experimental smoking kiln project developed based on a novel design and built using insulating refractory materials; towards improving the existing fish smoking kiln techniques in Nigeria with performance evaluation for recommendation. The result showed a significant improvement over the existing fish smoking kiln solutions.
