    Church building covering an area of 60×80 rectangle with two galleries on opposite shorter sides. The offices will be on ground floor and first floor both the adjacent building on one side and on the ground floor of the other adjacent building ground floor will be for nursery Sunday school and the top floor 2 rooms of middle group Sunday school on one room and the teen’s class on the other room. Both the office floors and the Sunday school floors should have washrooms. The wash rooms for the church should be on the ground floor. Will be glad to have a rough idea of how this will look like. The topography of the place is flat but slightly marshy black cotton soil in Kisumu city along Kibos Road opposite KPA Depot!

    3D Architectural Visualization

    Author: Red Rhyder

    3D Architectural Visualization is a cost effective solution to present the layout and Architectural design by offering the user to experience a walk-through to present how the finished Architectural project will look and feel. This proves to be a very cost effective sales tool for visualization, marketing and further promoting the Design of the Architectural Property.

    The 3D Architectural Visualization can be created from blueprint designs or directly from CAD files generated and supplied from the Architect. Taking advantage of CAD files offers a quick and low cost method for generating 3d Walkthrough, 3D Architectural Renderings and 3D Architectural Animation.

    There are several options for offering 3D Architectural Visualization, including:

    • User Controlled Walk-Throughs, allowing the user to control the camera and effectively walk through the Architecture and get a sense of feel and design.
    • User Controlled Settings, can allow the user to change color and materials used on walls, floors, ceilings, countertops, cabinets and appliances to make their best selection.
    • Pre-Rendered Walk-Throughs offer a movie that presents a walk through of the Architecture.
    • Pre-Rendered Image Stills offer 3D photos that highlight the various rooms and design of the Architecture.
    • Special Effects allow for endless possibilities, such as changing the time of day to show the property setting change from night to sunrise, showing the property building itself, walls becoming transparent or changing color. The possibilities are endless,

    3D Architectural Visualization offers a great visual representation of how the constructed Architecture will look and feel. We are able to offer extremely realistic lighting, shading and full use of materials for all surfaces to help create a mood and style to enhance the Architectural Design.

    The 3D Architecture Rendering allow for a more realistic representation of the actual Architecture. Furniture and decorations can be offered to further enhance the Architectural Design. Colors can be adjusted and mood can be set to help offer the best look to showcase the 3d Architectural Visualizataion.

  • In Memory of Arch. Dr. Francis Mburu-JKUCAT University-Architecture Dept. Paradigm Shift in African Architecture.

    In Memory of Arch. Dr. Francis Mburu-JKUCAT University-Architecture Dept.
    Paradigm Shift in African Architecture.

    This week, Kenya lost one of the most astounding Architects, Arch. Dr. Francis Mburu . He succumbed to recurring spinal injuries following a road accident that happened a few years ago.
    Arch. Dr. Mburu’s teachings as to how architecture and the built environment should improve the living standards of a population were very insightful.
    According to him, great architecture should be able to easily attract a following so as to develop into a paradigm shift.

    A paradigm shift is a change from what people are used to i.e common architecture so a different design that people find it useful, cost –saving and more aesthetically appealing than the normal usual method of construction.
    Arch. Dr. Mburu emphasized that architects should ensure that each of their designs are guided by the need to offer better, more efficient and unique designs and methods so as to ensure that there is a gradual change towards a better environment.

    In this respect, only a few designs would be able to achieve this after numerous trials and errors. These few will eventually develop the compass to which design will flow in the direction.

    African Architecture.

    Southern Africa.


    Southern African architecture is mostly dominated by the South African Boer designs. The most characteristic feature is the use of façade renderings, façade indent and extrusion, flat roof, pitched roof using stone-coated steel roofing sheets, and large window frames.

    East, Central and West African Architecture.


    East and West African architecture is mostly dominated by British/European colonial architecture. The main characteristics are masonry stone walling, high pitched roofs using steel, clay or concrete tiles and steel casement windows.

    North African Architecture.


    North African architecture is heavily influenced by Islamic architecture with buildings characterized by flat roofs with pigeon holes, minarets, plastered and rendered wall facades and indented windows.

    All the above architectures will keep shifting from one particular design to the other.
    Architects who get the designs right for a particular region will therefore set the trend for the paradigm shift towards the direction.

    My Predictions.

    Personally, I predict the largest paradigm shift will be seen within the East, Central and West African architecture.

    This is because this architecture is customized for use in the European regions hence not well adapted to Africa. The high roof pitch is best suited in snowy regions and the use of masonry stone walling plus heavy roofing materials leads to an expensive foundation type so as to support the large weights hence not suited for the Africa region. The chimney is best suited for European regions which require internal heating during winter.

    The Southern Africa and Northern Africa architecture is relatively low-cost, embraces a lot of soil block walling and flat roofs hence lighter foundations leading to a lower average cost of construction.

    Arch. Dr. Mburu’s inspirational insights in Architecture will forever be etched in the minds of the many architects he interacted with .

    BALCONIES.

    The houses have been designed such that each unit has a private and ample balcony for relaxing, drying clothes, cooking or any other outdoor activity that one may require.

    These balconies will enable the house occupants to enjoy the serene views towards Kigali City and also enjoy out-door atmospheres within their high-rise apartments.

    FLEXIBILITY OF INTERCHANGE CONVERSION .

    The units are designed such that the 3 bedroomed units can easily be converted into 2 separate 1 bedroomed units. The 4 bedroomed units can easily be converted into 2 separate 2 bedroomed units.

    This flexibility will be useful for occupants who would like to convert their units into rentals in future.

    This flexibility also reduces the construction costs associated with design such that the 1,2,3,and 4 bed roomed units can all be constructed at once, easily changing small sections to transform one unit to the other as demand requires. This way, chances of constructing an over-supply of a particular unit that has les demand are reduced.

    The overall building block has been designed to symbolize everlasting  peace to the people of Rwanda.
