About Faculty Architecture د معمارۍ ښوونځی

د معمارۍ پوهنځی په کیګالي، روانډا کې د معمارۍ یو ښوونځی دی چې د ۵۶۰۰ مربع متره ساحې پر مخ د ۶۰۰ زده کوونکو لپاره پلان شوی دی. ډیزاین له یوه ساده حجم څخه پیل کیږي چې پر دوو پوړونو ولاړ دی. دغه حجم په مقابلو خواوو کې له یو بل څخه بېل شوی دی، چې په منځ کې یو تش ځای رامنځته کوي او دا تشه د زده کوونکو لپاره یو بهرنی فضا جوړوي. د بهرنۍ پوښ لپاره ډبره او د داخلي برخو لپاره طبیعي رنګ لرونکی کانکریټ کارول شوی دی. وړې کړکۍ بهر ته مخ لري، په داسې حال کې چې لویې دننه مخې کړکۍ د چت د غځېدلو برخو له خوا سیوري کیږي. پرې شوې پورتنۍ برخې د ورځې رڼا دننه راولي او تهویه ښه کوي.

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.
