“The world is a growing construction hub and it is our duty to make it the home we desire it to be.”
The work shown in this text is the original work of one Mwema Joseph Musyoka. Ideas may have been derived inspirational work by major players in architecture.
JICHO LA NG’OMBE MARKET
My final year project was a market place relevant for a herding community in the coastal Kenya, specifically located in Mariakani area, next to Kadzonzo Primary School,KilifiCounty.
Below are Floor Plans for the Market
The area is characterized by high wind speeds Going up to 18km/h. My design was circular In order to mitigate the winds accommodating For inflow and outflow of air all through the structure
Arrows represent movement around the building
A one way entry allows proper coordination of movement from points all over the building.
The name ‘Jicho La Ng’ombe’ is a Swahili name inspired by the aerial view that stands out as a bull’s eye. It blends with the community’s culture of cattle herding. It fits it’s context and locations perfectly.
The building spans over 8 acres of land (32,500m3)
