About Faculty Architecture Мактаби меъморӣ

Факултети меъморӣ мактаби меъморӣ дар Кигали, Руанда мебошад, ки барои 600 донишҷӯ дар майдони 5600 метри мураббаъ тарҳрезӣ шудааст. Тарҳ аз як ҳаҷми оддии дуошёна оғоз меёбад. Ҳаҷм аз тарафҳои муқобил аз ҳам ҷудо карда мешавад, ки ин фосилаи марказие ба вуҷуд меорад, ки барои донишҷӯён фазои кушоди берунӣ ташкил медиҳад. Барои қабати берунӣ санг ва барои дохили бино бетони худранг истифода шудааст. Тирезаҳои хурд ба берун нигаронида шудаанд, дар ҳоле ки тирезаҳои калони ба дарун нигаронидашуда бо баромадгоҳҳои бом соя карда мешаванд. Қисмҳои болоии буридашуда рӯшноии рӯзро ба дохил ворид намуда, ҳавогузарониро беҳтар мекунанд.

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.
