This paper focused on “qualitative study on application of Mathematical principles in architectural design in Nigeria”. Mathematical principles have played a vital role in architectural design such as the foundation, the columns, beams, slabs, footings, stairs and the roofing. It was recommended that Mathematic curriculum should be design to embrace practical principles to architectural designs.
