“Kenya Design Aid” Workshop

Kenya Design Aid” Workshop (14-27 June 2017), held in Nicosia under the auspices of Cyprus Association of Architects, aiming to design a Medical Center near the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya, on behalf of the Cyprus Volunteer Doctors, has been completed a few days ago. The program of Architecture of Neapolis University in Cyprus co-hosted a successful effort which yielded six design proposals. The workshop was attended by a total of 72 students and young architects, graduates from Universities of Cyprus, Greece, Great Britain and the U.S. They had the opportunity to work out the real needs of a project and to reflect on the social role of architecture. The final project, after the additional construction documents, that will be made this summer, will be implemented during 2018. The University was represented by Dimitris Antoniou, Assistant Professor of Arch. Design and Bldg. Technology and Eve Dova, Lecturer of Architectural Design. Continuing the tradition that we already have for the summer workshops at Neapolis, we hope this workshop serve as an example for subsequent similar efforts.
