@tekinsaeko An old (assumably) wise man told me Kenyans are cowards for letting this foreigners tread on our grounds like this and that this is a time bomb waiting to explode.

You cannot teach architecture in a building that has no architectural conviction. Yet that is exactly what most institutions on this continent do.

Rwanda built their faculty of architecture the way architecture should be taught. By example.

Twenty years after the University of Rwanda’s College of Science and Technology was founded, the country finally commissioned a dedicated faculty of architecture.They launched an international competition. The expectation was simple. Build something that knows where it is.

The four natural elements are written into the building itself. Fire in the orange facade. Water in the inner garden. Air in the open circulation spaces. Earth in the lava rock and rammed earth walls. The jagged pyramid volumes follow Rwanda’s topography. Nothing was imported that the land could not already provide.

Every student who walks through that building receives their first architecture lesson before sitting in a single class.

That is what it means to build with intention.

@wmnjoya In my time you'd be sleep walking at 3am going to the washroom and meet the school principal strolling the corridors. Why one Jamleck Muturi had made a habit of roaming the dorms late at night had not made sense until now

This is an impeachable offense. In fact, it is treason against the People of Kenya.

@fineoptom @kiruti Interesting thing is I had always imagined that all teachers are old people,there was never a single young teacher in my primary school days.

This as a businesa https://t.co/fjEJx3Ketc always end up making sure everybody is paid and never get paid.I see people talk about how 200k consistently a month is low nacheka tu nikijua sawa 500 itaingia once but wait another 10 months to get another one.

[Lennox Omondi @_lennoxomondi]

Niliquit 9-5 ilikuwa inanilipa 150k/month.
Imenitake two years for my company kunilipa 67k/month na nafanya kazi from 7AM to 11PM every day, na sometimes unapata uko na employees wanakupea the hardest time ever, na kuwafuta kazi ni even more expensive.

Every month uko na bills za kulipa in the millions, end month kila mtu ako happy isipokuwa wewe juu uko na another 30 days kuraise another million. Na imagine all this trouble ndiyo net salary yako ikuwe 50k

Sometimes doh haitoshi unasema wacha ulipe the employees alafu KRA utawatumia yao by 9th, unajaribu kupata loan bank inakataa juu hauna shamba ya security, inafika 15th unapata weird calls, unashika unapata ni KRA, unawaambia utawalipa next Friday, wanakuambia Friday haiwezekani, labda Thursday. Inabidi uongee with one of your clients akulipe mapema, anakusomea akikuambia biz haifanywi hivo but anaitikia eventually.
Next week inafika unalipa KRA, SHA,NSSF, Housing Levy. Unahave some peace kidogo only to realize that next week ni end month na this time uko na deficit kubwa kushinda last month, and the cycle continues.

Kama uko 9-5 na uko sawa, I can’t advise you to quit. Heri ujaribu entrepreneurship in parallel but usiquit job yako. It feels good when you tell people that you quit your job to pursue your dream but you also need to understand that your dream will take time before it starts paying the bills, and it might also die before you eat a shilling from it.

@KeNHAKenya @KURAroads
Yes,there is need for Landscape Architects in your offices.I agree you always include that requirement in your design stages but what happens beyond construction phase,who follows up once the roads are up and running

[SkyVector @TangoFox_]

An analysis of the Thika Road as-built drawings suggests that while Landscape Architects were likely integrated into the design phase,there's a clear breakdown in post-occupancy involvement.@EricKigada @kinjeketile @xysist
