@rotic2542843 Ever since Dominique Perrault designed the Bibliotheque Nationale de France & won a price, the assumption is that glass is good for a library. Read on what users & workers had to say about the library. Also read up on the corrective measures & compromises they had to make.

This is a good example of how Kenyans don't get typology in architecture. Library= little light from outside to preserve books & media University building with offices & lecture rooms = natural light desired. This is why Obama's Library looks like a bunker & UoN tower an office

The bland architecture of the University of Nairobi Towers attracts no curiosity at all. The university of Nairobi Tower adds no value to the Nairobi skyline. Who designed it…is he happy with it? Compare Obama Library and the UoN Tower. 👇🏽

When planning a housing project for 150 families, reserve space for small parks instead of building wall to wall. These green pockets become premium for events and daily life. Future value lies in recreation, not just roof coverage.

You want to build sustainably in African climates? Answer these 4 questions first: 1. Does the material breathe with humidity? 2. Does it store cool air at night? 3. Can locals maintain it without imports? 4. Does it reduce long-term energy costs?

Vernacular building starts with what is already underfoot and what grows locally. Local stone, timber, and earth already know how to handle our rains and sun. Trust those materials and the craft that shaped them for generations.

Design walijenga nayo Makasembo. Mimi hushangaa if people will live in the complex. It's out of scale. Borderline Soviet era. Halafu hapo chini naona lorry. Not sure if they're movers. If so, then I guess I am the only one who wouldn't dare.

@kinjeketile @brigadier_Griff @K2grind The concept is Aging in Place. Build houses that work for small children and the elderly. This is how you build a community. Neighbours get to know each other from childhood to adulthood. This is contrasted to building houses for a stage in one's life (what is being built).

The Affordable Housing Project in Kenya adopted this same approach to housing. The future of AHP is written in stone!

In 1956, the federal government opened thirty-three eleven-story towers in St. Louis. By 1972 the city was dynamiting them on live television. Sixteen years. That is the lifespan of one of the most celebrated public housing projects in American history, a complex that won an

@murithitim You can build a whole house from someone who stole money from a gate. Think about that

Most people do not know that The Public Procurement and disposal Act plus its Tenderpreneurs have contributed not only to Ugliness of the human soul but also to a bloated Built Environment. We used to have simple working things but those days are gone. Everything costs a billion more! Let me share one example. The Case of Gates. This simple gate by Dr. Architect Rukwaro was built during honest times at University of Nairobi. In fact, he used it to teach the students principles of good design. You can see that it works and does not hinder entry and exit. It is simply a good gate with a minimalist canopy and agrees with the overall aesthetic of the university (then). It was made before we entered the Crazy period of Public Procurement and Disposal Act (Tenderpreneurship) The later was done by another University at a cost of Kes. 70 Million. We now have gates where the lowest bidder is quoting over Kes. 100 Million. The Public Procurement Act and its revolving door with the corrupt is a problem. Things are costing triple at half the quality #MjengoElimu

@ChaliKisogo @dnahinga Tulifanya competition ya hio bridge across university way. Nikiwa 5th year. We even got prizes. Lakini time ya implementation none of the designs was even considered. Tenderpreneurs did their thing.
