About Faculty Architecture Sekolah Seni Bina
Faculty Architecture ialah sebuah sekolah seni bina di Kigali, Rwanda, yang dirancang untuk 600 pelajar di atas tapak seluas 5,600 meter persegi. Reka bentuk ini bermula daripada satu isipadu ringkas dua tingkat. Isipadu tersebut ditarik pada dua sisi bertentangan, mewujudkan ruang tengah yang membentuk kawasan luar untuk para pelajar. Batu digunakan untuk sampul luar bangunan manakala konkrit berwarna asli digunakan untuk bahagian dalaman. Tingkap kecil menghadap ke luar, manakala tingkap besar yang menghadap ke dalam dilindungi oleh unjuran bumbung. Bahagian atas yang terpotong membawa masuk cahaya siang dan meningkatkan pengudaraan.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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

- Rwanda, school, architecture, Kigali
- 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.
