About Faculty Architecture Argitektuurskool
Faculty Architecture is 'n argitektuurskool in Kigali, Rwanda, beplan vir 600 studente op 'n terrein van 5 600 vierkante meter. Die ontwerp begin met 'n eenvoudige volume op twee vlakke. Die volume word aan teenoorgestelde kante uitmekaar getrek, wat 'n sentrale opening skep wat 'n buiteruimte vir studente vorm. Klip word vir die buiteomhulsel gebruik en selfgekleurde beton vir die binnekant. Klein vensters kyk na buite, terwyl groot binnewaarts-gerigte vensters deur dakoorhange beskadu word. Afgeknotte boonste gedeeltes bring daglig in en verbeter ventilasie.
About the A' Design Award in Goud
Faculty Architecture Argitektuurskool is 'n wenner van die A' Design Award in Goud, 'n geweldig prestigieuse erkenning wat toegeken word aan eersteklas-, wonderlike en uitstaande ontwerpe. Wenners in Goud is uiters innoverende, visionêre en glansryk verblindende skeppings wat die vernuf, wysheid en bekwaamheid van hul ontwerpers weerspieël. Daar word verwag dat Faculty Architecture Argitektuurskool 'n hoogs geprese, tendensskeppende en monumentale uitvinding is wat ongekende waarde lewer. Hierdie ontwerp wat die A' Design Award in Goud gewen het, is 'n skouspelagtige, gerespekteerde projek wat die grense van kuns, wetenskap, ontwerp en tegnologie in hoë mate bevoordeel en uitbrei. Faculty Architecture Argitektuurskool wek intense gevoelens van begeerte, roep passie op, moedig kreatiwiteit aan en boei ons.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The firm responded to an international call for tender launched in March 2012 by the government of Rwanda for the design of a new architecture school to accommodate 600 students on a 5,600 sq.m. site not far from the existing faculty. For this project we began with a simple form on two levels which we distorted in the same way tectonic forces distort land masses: we pulled on opposite sides, making a gap in the centre that would form the outside area for the students.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project does 5 600 square metres

- Production Technology
- The building uses two simple materials commonly found in the region: stone for the exterior envelope; and self-coloured concrete for the interior. The building has small outward-facing windows and large inward-facing windows protected from the sun by roof overhangs.
- Design Challenge
- The difficulty of the project was to manage it from France, with a relay on site and to use only local materials.
- Research
- The firm opted for a highly architectural project using complex forms, driven by both pedagogical and environmental concerns, halfway between traditional architecture and contemporary design. This is a simple, didactic building designed to train the future architects of a developing African country whose population is set to double by 2050.
- Inspiration
- The building uses two simple materials commonly found in the region: stone for the exterior envelope; and self-coloured concrete for the interior. The building has small outward-facing windows and large inward-facing windows protected from the sun by roof overhangs. The upper section of the pyramids is truncated in order to bring in natural light and optimise ventilation.
