About Faculty Architecture Sakolah Arsitektur
Faculty Architecture adolah sakolah arsitektur di Kigali, Rwanda, nan dirancang untuak 600 urang siswa di ateh tapak salueh 5.600 meter persegi. Rancangan ko bamulo dari sabuah volume sadarhano nan taradiri dari duo tingkek. Volume tu ditarik bapisah di duo sisi nan balawanan, sahinggo mambantuak calah tangah nan manjadi ruang tabuka untuak para siswa. Batu dipakai untuak salubuang bagian lua jo beton bawarna asli untuak bagian dalam. Jandela ketek maadok ka lua, samantaro jandela gadang nan maadok ka dalam dilinduangi dek juluran atok. Bagian ateh nan tapotong mamasuakan cahayo matoari jo mampaelok sirkulasi udaro.

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.
- Project Duration
