About Faculty Architecture Škola arhitekture
Fakultet arhitekture je škola arhitekture u Kigaliju, u Ruandi, planirana za 600 studenata na parceli od 5.600 kvadratnih metara. Dizajn polazi od jednostavnog volumena na dva nivoa. Volumen je razdvojen na suprotnim stranama, čime nastaje središnji procep koji formira spoljašnji prostor za studente. Kamen je korišćen za spoljašnji omotač, a beton u prirodnoj boji za enterijer. Mali prozori okrenuti su ka spolja, dok su veliki prozori okrenuti ka unutrašnjosti zasenčeni prepustima krova. Zasečeni gornji delovi unose dnevnu svetlost i poboljšavaju ventilaciju.

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.
- Project Duration
- Kigali at Rwanda
2017 to 2018 - Operation Flow
- 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.
