About Faculty Architecture Arhitektura mekdebi
Faculty Architecture — Ruandanyň Kigali şäherinde ýerleşýän, 5 600 inedördül metrlik meýdançada 600 talyp üçin meýilleşdirilen arhitektura mekdebidir. Taslama iki gatly ýönekeý göwrümden başlaýar. Bu göwrüm garşylykly taraplardan aýra çekilýär we netijede talyplar üçin açyk meýdan bolup hyzmat edýän merkezi boşluk emele gelýär. Daşky gabygy üçin daş, içki bölegi üçin bolsa öz reňkli beton ulanylýar. Kiçi penjireler daşa bakýar, uly, içe bakýan penjireler bolsa üçegiň çykyntgylary bilen kölegelenýär. Kesilen ýokarky bölekler gündiz ýagtylygyny içeri girizýär we howa çalşygyny gowulandyrýar.

Behind the Design
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
- Tags
- 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
