CONCEPTUAL

Sketches

Site Plan

Design Approach The design borrows from key recommendations and conclusions derived from the paper tilted “ Spatial Quality of Healthcare Centres in Informal Settlements “

Vehicular Circulation

Pedestrian Circulation

The Key design approaches include : 1.Narrow forms and building depths that allow cross ventilation of the spaces and adequate lighting entering the individual spaces . 2. Location of the circulation routes at the perimeter of the building to allow for effective lighting of the individual spaces and prevent cross infection between the different units . 3.Narrow room depths (maximum 7 metres to allow for effective lighting of the spaces .) 4. Creation of gardens and courtyard spaces which allow the patients and hospital users to have a therapeutic experience and ensure physical and emotional well- being of the users of the space .

Hospital Street .

Waste Management .

Concept Development .

Future Development ( Phase 01 and Phase 02 )

The design was informed by the following factors : 1.The terrain of the site where the steep slope of the site limited the disposition of functions since the nature of the facility required the quick and easy flow of activities across the different departments . 2.The nature of the facility required a linear form and organisation of the space to facilitate easy interrelationships of the spaces .

Lower Ground 02 Plan

The only for of organisation was a linear form with courtyards in between the spaces which allowed the users of the space to appreciate and get therapeutic healing from nature

Oxygen Distribution Network

The circulation cores were to be located at the centre of the facilty with at least one side of the circulation cores exposed to the external spaces to allow for effective lighting of the898 circulation cores .

The Chromosome

Elevation Design. The elevation design is informed by the chromosome which informed the design and flow of the sun-shading screens on the main entrance and circulation cores of the facilty . The chromosome is further abstracted to inform the shape of the canopy that defines the building entrance and drop - off area of the facility .

Elevation Material Finishes

First Floor Plan Front Building Elevation

1.White Wall Plaster - This is the general wall finish for the entire buildong with a 1200mm high natural stone skirting all around the ground and lower levels . 2.Corrugated Iron Sheets Roof - This is the main roof finish due to the ease of availabilty and ease of maintanace of the iron sheets . 3.Natural Stone Wall - This finish was used to define the perpendicular elements of the facility and all circulation cores of the facility .

1. Welded Rubber Sheet Floor Finish .

1. Welded Rubber Sheet Floor Finish . This floor finish is mainly used for the consultation rooms , procedure rooms and the examination rooms of the outpatients unit due to its durability and wear resistance , underfoor comfort for persons moving within the spaces , it emits very minimal noise , it is slip resitant and its resistants to chemical and contaminants . It is also requires low maintanace through regular washing and buffing .

2.Impervious textile finish .

2.Impervious textile finish . This floor finish is mainly used for the main public accessways of the individual units . The outpatient unit uses this flor finish within the main reception areas only in order to define the spaces . Due to its vulnerability to wear and tear , the impervoius textile finishes were not used in the main circulation routes but only restricted to the reception and waiting areas with fairly less circulation traffic . The impervious textile finishes also aided in the creation of a non-institutional, hotel or home like environment, with good sound reduction and underfoot comfort . 3Vinyl Welded Floor Finish . This floor finish is mainly used for the C-Section and Female Inpatient wards due to its durability , reselience and since it is an impervious material to water , oil and grease , it requires very minimal maintanance and cleaning as compared to other floor finishes . It is also slip resistant thus prevents patient falls and injuries and also cost effecient during installation .

Pangani Affordable Housing Project .

Project Objectives The objective of the Project is to interrogate the concept of affordable housing and the ideals of the PPP initiatives , to contribute towards the understanding and proposing viable design solutions for affordable housing for our country Kenya , To develop an understanding of affordable housing from lessons of housing conditions in both formal and informal settlements. This is to be carried out through an inventory of the nature of housing in respect to its physical (morphology, typoxxxxxxxxlogy and characteristics of its neighbourhood), social, economic and recreational activities of the cited low-income settlements.

Location Plan

Site Location .The site is located in the Pangani neighbourhood and is bounded on all 3 sides by Major Roads :Juja Road to the South ,Murang’a Road ,Prof .Wangari Maathai Road to the North . The site has different buildings and activities on its environs namely :The Guru Nanak Hospital to the South West ;Park Road Hotel ,Goan Institute Fields and the Deliverance Church -Pangani to the South ;Pangani Girls High School and Old Pangani Estates to the East .

Abstract

Master Plan

The challenges associated with housing low-income urban dwellers cities of developing countries is enormous more so because the population of this category is rising rapidly because of rapid urbanization and increasing poverty. During the 1950s, 1960s – and even well into the 1970s and 1980s, the nearly universal formula for housing policies of developing countries held that the enormous growth of slum and squatter housing stemmed from people’s inability to pay for conventional housing and hence the respective governments would solve the problem by building and subsidizing the necessary units. The experience, and reality, of this attempted solution, especially the failure of well-funded programs to house many people, revealed that governments would not or could not mobilize enough resources to make it work.he resulting absence of public housing leaves low-income households no choices beyond renting in slums or building houses on their own that are sub-standard, ill-serviced and in areas that are environmentally hazardous, as and when they can.

Zoning The main commercial blocks have been placed along Juja Road and Muranga Road due to the high pedestrain traffic along those roads compared to Ring Road Ngara.The Social ammenities on site have been placed at the central area on site due to easy access from all points on the site

The nature of this housing does not fulfil the criteria for ‘adequate housing’ as set out in chapter four of the Constitution of Kenya (2010), Housing policies in developing countries has been very much an experimental activity from formulation to final forms: from building and subsidizing housing units for the low-income households; to self-help formula premised on the observation that the low-income households do indeed build a large part of their housing stock; and to today’s new framework of upgrading. Kenya, as a member of the developing countries, has not been left behind in the experimental urban housing policies for the low-income households – more especially in the city of Nairobi whereby this cadre of population constitutes an upward of 70% of the city’s population .

Building Morphology The Site is generaly mixed with the bedsitter and 1 bedroom blocks and the 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom blocks adjacent to each other.

Among the ideals to be explored are the following: i. Housing models that maximize on densities. ii. The nature of building material and technologies appropriate for a low-income housing. iii. Suitable land use management strategies for residential neighbourhoods within the city of Nairobi.

Green Spaces They are located within every cluster with a common open spaces within the community centre next to the schools

07 Chiromo Conference Centre . Project Introduction

Location Plan

Spatial Organisation . Auditorium Stage

The Site is located in Chiromo ,Nairobi adjacent to Proffesor Wasawo Drive and Mungai Road . The Site is bordered by Grogan House to the South and the Chemistry building to the West .

Auditorium Seating

The Examination Centre is across Wasawo Drive to the East.

Cafeteria on ground Level Breakout space on next 2 levels Library on 3rd level.

The students were tasked with designing a multi-purpose conference centre serving both the students and the general public .

The main idea was to have the auditorium as the centre piece of the facility which dictates the circulation into the other spaces The auditorium was to go against the given slope on site that is 2 metres ,in order to achieve suffecient headrom to house functions under the main hall seating . The breakout out spaces were to be located on top of the Dining Area ,with the uper most level housing the breakout spaces and the balcony seating Area .

The multi purpose facility was also to have the following ammenities : A Library A cafeteria serving 100 people .

Access The library was intially located at the far end but moved to the upper most level due to constraints of the site conditions . The main access into site was along the Prof Wasawo Drive .On site ,there was a clear axis from the building entrance that informed the pedestrian pathway from the parking areas to the building

Master Layout Plan

Neighbourhood Character The conference centre design was inspired with the neighbouring context and building typology of the general Chiromo buildings . On the other hand ,Grogan House provided a different typology for the Chiromo Area dur to its historical area . The building respected to the Chiromo building typology while at the same time respecting Chiromo by offering views in that direction through glazing on the rear facade .

Sunpath Due to the orientation of the site ,the East elevation had to be sunshaded using 100mm by 500mm thick horizontal timber members with the Western Facade shaded by the Biology and Physical Sciences building .

08 UON Staff Housing Project . Project Introduction Site Information The Site is located at the University of Nairobi grounds adjacent to the Mamlaka Halls of Residence and the Mamlaka Cafeteria . The main accesses to the site are Kivemia Road and Dorobo Road .

Location Plan

Site Plan Vegatation The main trees Mugumo which was at the centre of court 1 required no building around it due to its spread out roots which might affect the structural integrity oif the buildings

Site Topography The Site slopes gently from the Mamlaka Hostels upwards towards Dorobo Road . The general slope of site ifs 4 metres from Dorobo Road towards Mamlaka Hostels . Project Requirements We are tasked with designing 15 houses to serve the staff of the Unuiversity .The proposed design should accomodate 10 3 bedroom houses,5 4 bedroom houses ,a health club facility complete with a swimming pool and a gate house .

Sunpath Due to the Sun,s movement ,the main building facades faced Noth -South to avoid being affected by the rising and afternon sun .

Master Layout Plan

Concepts The main organising principle of the site plan and layout was the vegetation on site and Circulation through site

Circulation The main vehicular access point was along Kivemia Road with th vehicular Parking located at that end .

The site was organised in clusters of a minimum of 3 houses per cluster ,with a shared parking space accessed from Kivemia Road .

The pedestrian circulation was 2400mm wide with retaining walls at the ends defining the path

The club house and swimming pool was to serve as the epicentre of the entire facility , accessed from the centre of the site

Longitudinal Elevation 01 Open and Green Spaces The facility had 2 main playground areas :on 2 clusters with the rest of the soft paved areas being outdoor relaxation spaces for the users

The main organising principle of the site plan and layout was the vegetation on site and Circulation through site The 3 bedroom units were placed together at the upper part of the site with the 4 bedroom houses secluded away together at the site boundary adjacent to the Prefabs,and the Southern boundary hostels because of their scale and size
