The Facade as a Connotive Language "Àrokò is an indigenous Yorùbá semiotic device used in non-verbal communication through the use of objects and materials in varied numbers, colours or combinations, with meanings understood only by members of the palace society or culturally educated members of an African society". In this context the members of the 'African society' are members or former members of the University of Lagos. Therefore, if, Àrokò is a "parabolic language, of African symbolic letters" that could be used to connote meaning in architectural facades, where MC could connote Merry Christmas, then FA would connote? . . .
