UR CST JENGA Design-Build

problem-based learning through the implementation of 3 major, practice oriented design-build courses in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda into existing curricula of architecture, links will be established between content and method of teaching and also between the participating institutions themselves. This will culminate in the creation of a regional network of excellence for thinking, teaching, researching and producing energy-efficient housing. Co-operation will strengthen teaching and knowledge management competencies including student centred problem-based learning. Low cost, low-carbon, energy-efficient and sustainable construction technologies, as well as the skills and methods to teach them, will help to meet the energy demand. The architecture students at the University of Rwanda - College of Science and Technology's School of Architecture and the Built Environment have partnered to work on affordable housing for the Eastern Province with Rwanda Village Enterprise and Sharon Davis Design. The result of the design-build phase in Rwinkwavu, Rwanda will be two houses designed and built with the students to be occupied by local residents of the umudugudu. This project is funded by the European Union | Implemented by the ACP Secretariat.
