PROFILE IAN MATHENGE MAHINDA, a passionate, creative and detail oriented individual. Interested in problem solving, moreso, in architecture that seeks to make people, their senses and experience, the centre for design.

SKILLS Well vast in concept development and scheme design. In addition, a dextrous model maker who details maquettes by hand and with the help of 3D printing technology. Unique detail design is aided by my interest in furniture making.

SPATIAL PERCEPTION AND AWARENESS

SAFETY

- USE OF LANDMARKS FOR ORIENTATION - SUFFICIENT BUT NOT OVERWHELMING MULTISENSORY CUES

- ZONING OF VEHICULAR AND PEDESTIAN CIRCULATION - INCORPORATION OF FIRE ESCAPES ESPECIALLY IN DORMS

- SIMPLE PLANNING CONCEPT FOR EASE IN COGNITIVE MAPPING - RELATIVELY COMPACT SCALE

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION

- PREFERENCE OF RAMPS OVER STAIRCASES - USE OF ANTI-MICROBIAL MAERIALS ON FREQUENTLY TOUCHED SURFACES

COMPACT DESIGN AROUND THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED WING OF THE SCHOOL. THE PATHWAYS TO THE DINING HALL, CLASSROOMS, DORMS AND INFIRMARY ARE DIRECT

tIMEABU KINDERGARTEN

" Within but without a box " Lacking the slightest understanding of architecture, observing how earth is turned into wall, being inside yet outside of class, the coming together of everyone to help us learn even when it rains unlike before when we could only rely on leaves under a tree. Where mama's bright yellow Kente traditional dress seems to be comforting me even when we part. Where my desk ceases to become a space but a place. Somewhere I already train to become a creative, doctor and farmer. All this as I play with Kwesi and Kojo from Kindergaten 1 around our courtyard, help Abena and Kweku from nursery wash their hands properly at the hand wash station and compete with Kofi and Ama from my class on whose seedling will shoot fastest at the farm. I was wrong. Architecture had already revealed itself to me, a 6 year old.

CONCEPTS FORM CONCEPT 1

A space to shelter kids, rectiliniear form as exisiting structures

PLANNING CONCEPT

SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT

Need to open up the structure for it to relate to environment

In development, can be viewed as the permeability in terms of knowlegde flow, sharing of ideas and "being out of the box"

The resultant form is a simple form allowing for interactions and creativity

The project aims to postively respond to the environment and its contexts in through efficient utilization and conservation of resources eg water and energy Borrowing from the theme of integration, a courtyard is incorporated to link to the different classes and in between them, have additional social squares/ spaces that further promote learning of new skills and presevation of culture.

This is also viewed in terms of trying to merge the architecture of the exsiting primary/secondary school and the new architecture of the kindergarten to ensure the key concepts within the environment (school and community around) are maintained.

COLOUR CONCEPT Being children oriented, a vibrant environment is key. Colour was sought to achieve this. In order to avoid an uniformed selection of themes,inspiration was derived from the colorful Kente clothing of the Ashanti people. Yellow was selected as it represents wealth. In our case, the kids are the wealth of the society and their wellbeing should be ensured for the community to be sustained.

EXISTING SCHOOL STRUCTURES The design seeks to achieve a structurally rational, cost efficient build that is easy to put up using the locally available technology. The program is also maintained to a straighforward minimum with classes around a courtyard and additional facilities (washrooms/ wash hand station, garden and sheltered play area) within the pockets. Ergonomic requirements are taken into consideration to ensure the safety and comfort of the young ones ensuring minimal steps and lowered windows.

Jusification for the project to be within the scheduled 3 months duration; 1. Most materials are sourced locally therefore fewer delays. 2. The project is generally a fast construction as wet construction is only on the walling and a bit of floor, ie; no extensive duration of curing of slabs. 3. Documentation of the processes ie; fabrication and assembly of the elements will be availed to ensure the builders understand the build prior to start of work to save on time. 4. Volunteers

REALITY NOT FAR AWAY As the collage used extensively in this presentation, different pictures coming together to form one composition, we author such a design. The main aspects right from the simplity of forms (the innocent characters of children) to incoporation of the various structures to form a unison design (interaction for the children to bud brighter generations for the furture) to form a condusive environment not only to learn but to share, promote wonder and creativity and serve as a basis for social integration with others, and push to enlighten them on issues of sustainability, health from a young age. From this,a kindergarten far from serving as an educational center for the young ones enables them see the world in a different perspective. Use of the environment around (culture and construction techniques) to form unique structures that are our own answering to our problems and the coming together of people to work together toward a common goal. Ultimately this works to cement the essence of learning itself. Use of our environment, roots and other members of the community to find solutions to todays' problems.

Unique facilities in this projects include; 1) a common courtyard; can be used as a play area, or where they can have lessons outside claas eg: story telling sessions. 2) a common wash hand station utilizing rain water collected and directed to storage tanks: this enlightens them on health issues, and sustainability ie: conservation of water both in harvesting and reuse whereby the grey water is channelled to irrigate the farm. 3) a small garden: they can be taught on self sustainability issues and preserve the farming activity of people of Timeabu.

1. M.U.D PROJECT: Completed as part of my 4th year of study, it is located in Upper Hil Nairobi was intended to solve for socio-economic, cultural and technological forces in the urban built environment. Concepts of new urbanism were acquired. 2. JUA KALI PROJECT: Located in Kamukunji, Nairobi, the objective was to develop skills in the enquiry of architectural problems and propose solutions. My topic was Impact of Materials and Construction Technology on Placemaking Case of Jua Kali Industry. GSPublisherVersion 0.18.100.100

3. NAIROBI ART GALLERY PROJECT: Completed as part of my 5th year of study, the objective was to come up with an art gallery design borrowing conservation strategies from Kenyatta Avenue, Nairobi where it is situated. 4. COMPOSERS HOUSE: A 2nd year project weaning us into the design process. It used reeds cladding that represents timber structure. The additional image is an interior model showing proposed furniture placement. 5. Interior model of a proposed bedroom design. GSPublisherVersion 0.18.100.100

6. AFFORDABLE LOW COST HOUSING PROJECT: Located in Juja, Kenya with the goal of providing low cost housing solutions in an urban context, various techniques of space sharing and material use were considered. As a conclusion, several development guidelines that can be assimilated elsewhere in other urban areas were proposed. These would help tame the housing crisis experienced counrty and continentwide. 7. HOSPITAL DESIGN PROJECT: As part of my 2nd year of study, the objective was to find the best possible space arrangement through analysis of their different functions and relationships. Additional interior model of the pharmacy area was explored as shown. GSPublisherVersion 0.18.100.100

8. RESORT PROJECT: A 3rd year project located in 14 Falls Thika, Kenya. Its objective was the application of timber material technology in the design of a tourist resort. It opened up my view of timber as a building material and its various joinery that also informed my furniture designs. 9. RUIRU BUS TERMINUS PROJECT: Located at the ruiru by-pass, this 3rd year project was to expound our knowledge in the use of various materials in construction. In my case polycarbonates and ultimately, design a hub that offeres a memorable and safe experience for the travelers. 10. A personal project design of a solar powered house courtesy of BBOX company that was featured on Citizen TV. 11. A replica of a mobile clinic unit by Merck pharmaceutical company that was to be used as a reference model for their pilot clinics in Kenya. 12.
