[Decarbon Designs @DecarbonDesigns]

Sustainability in construction starts with decisions about how we design, manufacture, and assemble our buildings. Precast concrete components, including stairs & wall panels, can play a valuable role. #SustainableConstruction #PrecastConcrete #ConstructionInnovation #LowCarbon

Rwanda keeps raising the standards that most African countries are neglecting.

Ruhehe Primary School sits along a gently curving wall of local volcanic stone, paying homage to Rwandan craftsmanship. Volcanic rock on the walls. Clay roofing tiles that muffle rainfall so lessons continue through storms. Woven bamboo and bark panels filtering light and absorbing sound. 80 percent of construction materials sourced within 50 kilometres of the site. 75 percent of the budget spent inside Ruhehe Village and Musanze district. 110 local workers hired. 35 percent of them women.

Now look at what we build and call a school across most of this continent. A cement block box. Plastered over. Painted yellow on top and ox-blood red at the bottom. No ventilation strategy. No acoustic consideration. No connection to the landscape or the culture. A building that could exist anywhere and therefore belongs nowhere.

The material knowledge is here. The stone is here. The clay is here. Rwanda proved that building well does not cost more and it costs differently, and it pays back in ways a painted cement box never will.

This is not a foreign standard. This is an African one.

This! This is what many businesses and startups from the West sometimes fail to appreciate about Africa. It's not just about the product, but you have to build the entire support system yourself, sometimes even policy & law. Kudos @AlikoDangote

“We launched the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. We also had to build a harbour, roads, and a water system with a capacity of 440 million litres. Our water facility alone covers more than 30 hectares.”

Let Us First Establish,
1. Whether an Architect was Involved
2. Whether they were paid or well paid
3. Whether what the Architect submitted is what was built?
4. Whether an Architect was involved during Construction.
