AZUBI STUDENT CENTER
“Azubi Kibwigwa” is a voluntary development cooperation in the 10,000-inhabitant village of Kibwigwa, Tanzania. Starting from a fundraising initiative in Vöcklamarkt in 2006, various projects have been realized, such as student sponsorships and the construction of a boarding school, coming closer to the common goal of the project teams in Tanzania and Austria: sustainable help for people who are exposed to economic injustice, cultural misunderstanding and political problems.

TASK
The task is to design a foyer and study pavilions for the Kibwigwa Students Center. The Students Center is a “place in the making” - two buildings already exist and more are being planned. These will be completed over the next few years. Parallel to our design, the department for wooden structures is working on a design for the school hall. The projects are freestanding, openly accessible structures, giving the children (ages 10-16) the opportunity to study and meet between classes. The foyer has a strong public meeting character, whereas the pavilions provide privacy for free study, providing simple protection against sun, wind and rain.
