From the editor’s desk The Ointment in the Fly

name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!” Fortunately, in this

much acclaimed play, she lived in an era of nobility where the quintessence of substances mattered, but not so in this age. Fast forward to the 21st Century and reflect for a moment on the names of some of the much sought after residential neighbourhoods in Kenya- I name but a few: Runda, Muthaiga and Karen in Nairobi, Nyali and Tudor (yes, christened after that royal Welsh dynasty ruled the United Kingdom) in Mombasa, the Milimanis of Kisumu, Kitale and Nakuru, the Elgon View and Kapsoya of Eldoret. Do not all these romanticised names elicit a longing of “when I grow up, I wanna…” It is the pride of every architect when one is commissioned to design a residential or commercial unit in these areas, for these for with such names, how can one not summon all their creative juices as they sketch and plan for the new development, even invoking that divine intervention will infuse that “wow!” factor into the project? But that is about all they turn out to be, interesting and embellished works of art limited within the perimeter of the boundaries that define the property. Should one seek ‘zoom out’ to pan over the context in which they sit, one quickly picks out the ointment in the fly (sic) and exposes the ‘Grand-theft houses’ heist ; one is confronted by run down and not-up-to-scratch support infrastructure which consists of poor urban design elements. Take a peek and the heading of the scam bare before your very eyes: piped comes only twice a week so you need a borehole and an underground water reservoir. The streets leading up to these hyped ‘gems’ have dumpsters teeming with garbage at the nodes; roads extremely narrow, sometimes, with no sidewalks for pedestrians to amble without having to worry about safety with fast vehicular traffic alongside. In Nairobi, in the so called ‘posh’ areas of Hurlingham and Parklands, most narrow lanes do not have bollards and other appropriate street furniture and it is not uncommon to find pedestrians having to make a choice between scampering for safety towards open storm-water drains that flank these roads and risking or risk their lives at the mercy of furiously-driven cars. The same neighbourhoods, their big names notwithstanding, do not have easy access to convenience stores, street lighting, bus lays, never mind that they are not served by decent means of public transport. Should you, being part of the nouveau-riche finally grow up and save enough to buy into neighbourhoods, you will be scandalised to learn that newer available plots areas are defined by untarmacked access roads and largely incomplete civil works. Police stations are permanently on your list and because you pay more tax, you must pay for private security as well. After tricking you to buy and the cheque safely pocketed, the developer, pointing at the zonal masterplan, has the cheek to add with that now familiar saintly look that “there are plans for a dual carriageway to pass here and it will just border your lot, so the value of your property will soon triple. In fact, it has just been approved by Cabinet and it will be endorsed in the next County Council meeting…” Huh! Tell it to the birds! Meanwhile, as you pay top-dollar for land rates and struggle to service your mortgage, your children, who are the real victims, have no playing fields and must remain indoors since, the community’s security chief warns, the estate has now become a haunt of malefactors. So, what is the catch here? What did one buy? Privacy? - my foot! So, what’s in a name? Is this an camouflaged ‘Mukuru’?

From the Chair’s desk

t has been indeed a vibrant start of the year and in overall a very successful one. We started the year on a high note with the Excellence in Architecture awards which proved to be quite as success. Jury members were drawn from all over Africa. The Award ceremony was conducted on February 21st 2014 at the Intercontinental Hotel after the Chapter AGM and was graced by Ambassador Martin Kimani, permanent representative of Kenya to UN Habitat.

ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH/ CPD EVENTS OVER THE LAST YEAR Chair, AAK Architects Chapter Golf Tournament: Friday the 25th of April 2014 we held our Annual Golf Tournament, the 14th since inception. It was an excellent tournament, with a record number of participants and sponsorship. County Governments Memorandum: The Chapter has prepared a comprehensive memorandum to be distributed to all county governments through the Transition Authority so as to insure that matters built environment are addressed in a structured and professional manner. Of importance to the Chapter: Development of an integrated master plan by counties, sharing of database of architects in good standing with the said counties for easy reference, Procurement of professional services to be guided by statute and Drawing approval process in all counties to be streamlined. Revised Construction Permits Rates: The chapter notes with concern that the County of Nairobi has increased construction permit fees quite significantly. We feel that this is a very critical issue as it may have a negative impact on the construction industry as a whole. An audience with the Governor was held late last year jointly with KPDA (Kenya Property Developers Association). We continue to ardently pursue this matter jointly with KPDA and KEPIN (Kenya Property Industry Network). Architecture Museum: The Chapter is preparing a concept paper for an Architecture Museum to be hosted by the AAK. This main objective of this is to have a proper archiving system for buildings of great importance to the country. The possibility of having a virtual archiving system is being pursued. The Chapter is looking for partners to fund the initiative. Social Media: The Chapter launched its Facebook page and Twitter handle as a way of engaging more interactively with the membership and public at large and keeping them informed of activities and events. So far this has been very successful. The Facebook page has about 550 likes and the Twitter handle about 335 followers. In the same spirit of engaging more with members, the chapter has also launched a digital version of the magazine at the beginning of this year. The emagazine has been uploaded on the link www.thearchitectmagazine.com. This online presence will enable the magagzine have a reach beyond that of the Chapter only. Members of AAk and the public will be able to give real time feedback on the articles. 2013 EAIA “100 Years of Architecture” Project: Through an outreach to the members, Kenya has submitted the following buildings: Kipande House, Railway Headquarters, City Hall, The Kenya High School, Parliament Building, IPS building, KICC, ICEA Building, Don Bosco Church, Coca Cola Headquarters, Upperhill, Oceanic Hotel, Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Aga Khan Academy, Kenya Commercial BankAfrican Union of Architects (AUA): The chapter continues to be actively involved in the international affiliate institutions, having been represented at all major meetings and fora. International Union of Architects ( UIA): The UIA will be hosting its Congress in Durban South Africa in August 2014. The AAK is planning to send a delegation down to Durban. Members are welcome to participate in this. We look forward to engaging further with you throughout the year and to an even more successful year ahead.

AAK Awards of Excellence in Architecture

The Rebirth of Kenyan Architecture

n a span of less than a 100 years, Kenya has transformed magnificently in terms of architectural de-

velopment. From a period when the two storey Kipande house, then a rail warehouse, was the tallest building to a time that the Times Tower overlooks the city from over 30 floors in height. From a period when the countryside was but a wilderness that Africans hunted in, farmed and grazed their livestock to the bustling cities of

Kisumu and Mombasa. Architecture has transformed the topography and it does the same to the lifestyle of the people as well. To recognise and appreciate the milestones achieved in this sector, the Architectural Association of Kenya, with sponsorship from paint manufacturers Duracoat, organised an award of excellence in the various sectors. “Architecture is not just important, but it reflects who we are as we spend most of our time, either in the offices or at home, within this built environment and it is thus crucial to recognise the efforts put in by this profession,” said Ambassador Dr Martin Kimani, Head of Mission to the UN Nairobi as he presided over the ceremony at the Hotel Intercontinental.

THE WINNERS AT A GLANCE

The Architect, Issue 1, January-March 2013

Best Residential Building Project Location: Plot 7158 / 509, Nairobi Architect: Studio Infinity

he project is best described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a restrained and comforting house that delights through its welcom-

ing scale, calm use of pleasant materials, and generous sense of easy living. Avoiding the decorative coatings or commonly applied cladding of many modern single family houses, this design is truthful in its use of materials. It resonates with tropical house types in many African and global locations, and joins a long tradition of calm places for family life, defined by an ease with which nature and people share urban or semi-urban plots of land.

The Architect, Issue 5, January-March 2014

The Courtyard Best Commercial building project Location: Westlands, Nairobi Architect: Bowman Associates

he Architect magazine has featured this project in full in a previous issue. It is a sure winner in its category. It was pre-

sented as a compact and appropriately scaled building, with pleasing proportions and sufficient detail for everyday business life. Its heart is a serene and balanced space, extraordinary for its sense of drama. This project shows that it is possible to create uplifting places in the sometimes nondescript new development zones along previously suburban streets in densifying cities across Kenya and the continent.

Red Pepper House Best Hospitality Industry Project Location: Lamu Architect: Urko Sanchez Architects, 2012

ituated at the Kenyan coast, right on the shore line, this is a truly exceptionally crafted building, nestled with ex-

treme care and a unique sense of flair and daring into its coastal forest setting. The building footprint is almost divined out of the forces at play on the site. The assembly process is as rigorously considered and expressed as the research that underlies the intelligent engagement with the client. The project is lovingly made, and is presented with a care and consideration that shows true passion for the art and the craft of architecture.

The Architect, Issue 5, January-March 2014

Client Brief We will let the architects tell the story in their own words The client wanted a private residence that shared a connection with Lamu but was secluded from the main town itself. He had a passion for architecture and at the same time liked to be in contact with nature. Combining these two attributes, a chance was presented to create a form of organic architecture that had a balance of traditional craft and modern comfort. The client had great respect for the environment and wished that the design process preserved the forest as much as possible. Likewise, the construction process and eventually the running of the building were to share the same attribute. The house was to be designed in zones that could be occupied by the whole family or reduced to one when he was alone. The client also had a knee problem, which meant that the house would have to be designed on one floor to avoid him climbing stairs. He is a major contributor to the Aniclan Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shelter that lies not far behind the plot and desired to have a close relationship with the orphanage. Eventually, the client would like to profit from a design where parts of the house could be rented out yet still maintain a barrier of privacy between the occupiers and himself. With this, Urko Sanchez Architects ventured out to create a work of organic architecture: The Red Pepper House.

Concept Design

Approach and situation on the ground

The Architect, Issue 5, January-March 2014

Design development One of our greatest challenges was accessibility. Lamu is located in a very remote area of Kenya; it is an island of limited resources; transport is conducted soley by boat dhow or donkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back. The Red Pepper House was built accordingly by utilizing locally sourced elements: We had to think comprehensively about how to simplify construction methods and stick to the very essence of the project. Materials and expertise had to be local. We needed to integrate traditional materials and their centuries-old applications along with 21st Century design and an environmentally sound sensibility. There it is. But only if you know where it is, will you find it. The Red Pepper House has merged with the forest. It cannot be perceived from the sea. It is hidden. Lost. Only to be found again. Overall, we wanted to create something we believed in, somewhere that would provide maximum, inherent enjoyment of being in a forest, next to a beach, on the cusp of the unique Lamu town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ecological energy systems In order to exploit the sunny climate of Lamu, the project hosts tow solar collection devices. Solar water heaters absorb the sunlight and use the energy to heat water. The advantage of these solar heaters is that hot water is available on demand throughout the course of the day without negatively affecting the environment. It only seems right that the same idea is incorporated in generating power and thus the project also uses photovoltaic cells to provide electricity to the house. Like the construction process, the use of solar energy ensures that the running of the building also keeps a very low carbon footprint having minimal impact on the environment. The house accomodates a water tower that uses the theory of gravity to send water to the taps and showers and eradicates the need for a pressure pump.

nother winner from Lamu. The architect describes it as a finely crafted, uplifting and truly civic building that respects the soul of the stressed and hurrying traveller, and the spirit of place of the historic town near which it is set. A richly textured and poetic

alternative to the prosaic, mostly unbearable and soulless places that punctuate travel in remote locations in Kenya and across the world. A true Place to Be, while you are on your way to somewhere else.

Garba Tulla School Best Educational Project Location: Isiolo Architects: TRIAD Architects, 1978

n a desolate and harsh landscape, this project is a subtle and thoughtful exemplar of the ability of geometry and proportion, rhythm and repetition to order the world.

This building is an eloquent yet clipped lecture on the beauty of tectonics, the delight of making, and a sparseness of effort, materials and detail that is forward-looking for our hot, flat and crowded planet and Kenya in the 21st century. It is reassuring to see that almost two generations ago, architects in Kenya were practising obviously appropriate ‘green architecture’ through a deep understanding of place, opportunity, material and people’s skills and needs.’

Proposed Sports Fields and Sports Facilities for Pwani University Best Concept/ongoing project Location: Kilifi Architect: Otto Mruttu & Partners

et another winner from the Coast! The architect describes it as an intelligent and suitably ordered project in a ram-

bling campus landscape, this project shows that cultural references can be respectfully absorbed into modern buildings without resorting to cheap faĂ§ade antics. This is a collection of buildings that whisper instead of shouting, and that betray a confidence of line and detail which should result in a fine environment for large gatherings of people once it is built.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

The Architect, Issue 5, January-March 2014

Project description The proposed Sports Fields and Sports Facilities for Pwani University is an ongoing project scheduled to be tendered for construction works to commence in July 2014. The project was awarded to a consortium led by Otto Mruttu & Partners after competitive evaluations of Request for Proposals in 2012. Otto Mruttu & Partners were commissioned to design and administer the construction contract for the sports complex which is part od a master plan prepared for Pwani University by other consultants. The proposed project covers a total area of 75,800sqm with Sports Fields comprising of: spectatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stand, refreshment stand, storage areas, equipment room, small first aid room, running tracks with steeple chase facilities, swimming pool, two football fields, tennis and netball courts, hockey fields,sports office and areas for: javelin, triple jump, high jump, discus, hammer throw, shot put and pole vaulting. The indoor sports complex housing comprises: open floor gym, washrooms and changing rooms, squash courts, physio rooms, general health club, badminton courts, basketball court, studios and recreational sports.

Tudor Apartments Finalist in Best Concept/Ongoing Project category Location: Tudor Creek, Mombasa Island Architect: Urko Sanchez Architects

ooks like if you want to win, consider the Kenyan Coast and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the roll! Well, we will let the consultants explain for this project. Fourteen apartments, Tudor Creek Mombasa Island. Quite the assignment for us, representing a new frontier, a new experience, a new breakthrough. First, there was the plot, long and narrow, facing East. Then the challenge of translating our contemporary Swahili style, without existing references to draw upon, to a ground-breaking highrise structure - one that would stand out beautifully on the peninsula. In light of these considerations, our initial threshold was to apply solutions we had used in horizontal projects to a vertical realization. The apartments, accordingly, will benefit from the experience of outdoor living, contact with nature and the integration of the surroundings into each private home. Simultaneously, we are maximizing views over the creek. Three styles of apartment will be featured primarily with three bedrooms, each accommodated with underground parking. The Tudor Apartments will also offer splendid tower living and a penthouse.

arliament buildings - one of the definitory icons of Nairobi’s skyline. If you haven’t seen it, you haven’t been to Nairobi. A surprisingly confident and skilled use of modernist line, mannerist delight and almost baroque

drama and composition, this fine civic building sets itself apart from the often literal symbolism and ponderous expressive urges of post-colonial buildings for the functioning of African governments. It is important to realise that a building of such elegant forceful expression and such staying power was executed by a very young architect of limited experience, but evidently of natural and deepseated skill and discretion.

Crime Prevention Though Environmental Design in Public Spaces Restoration of Westgate Shopping Mall Arch. Winnie C. Kalya (M.A.A.K, Reg.Arch); AAK (Architectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chapter) National Construction Authority (NCA)

INTRODUCTION

and engineers making inclusion in the building

rime Prevention though Environmental Design (CPTED) is a pro-active crime prevention strategy utilized by planners, architects, police services, security professionals and everyday users of space. It is based on the notion that proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the incidence of crime and improve quality of life.

process almost unheard of or reduced to mostly fire preparedness. The recent terrorist attack on Westgate Mall is a wake-up call for architects and engineers to think about how safe and secure the spaces they design are. All discerning Kenyans have to demand crime prevention features to be incorporated in the design of buildings. It is against this background that information and practice of CPTED should be encouraged with the aim of creating safer public spaces.

PIMP MY DESIGN?

On Visualization, Digital Prototyping and Fabrication by Architect Dennis Karanja

he use of digital technologies has assimilated itself exponentially in the AEC professions.

Often, engineering and construction professionals have embraced software in mid and end processes of project delivery. Architects and Landscapers engage these processes as extensions of sketching, modelling and documentation from concept to project delivery. We pride ourselves in turning the intangible dreams of our clients to reality. Yet often these dreams are captured in terse meetings with clients. Prevalent technology has come in to augment the traditional methods of representation and communication of these dreams, from inception to post contract management. The proliferation of affordable computers and powerful software have enabled professionals to extend the boundaries of what can be conceived and constructed. The advanced software allows us to visualise, model and test complex parametric and organic geometries. This has huge implications for both tectonics and material use in contemporary architecture. Granted, the architectural visualizations have their portent potential, an impact not just felt as a new genre of expression but an entire territorial scope. It is therefore of paramount importance that the architectural indus-

DESIGN INTEGRITY

However convenient the contrary might be, endeavour for accuracy and truth by using visualisations to simulate the actual or expected appearance of the design intent without distortion. There should be appropriate levels of realism for the intended purpose. Often you will not find a sales document depicting the real site. It usually is a concocted, innocent and pristine neighbourhood far
