Masters thesis

sustainable solutions

applied to megaprojects

building a sustainable tomorrow

Realizing the growing nations vision, my plan is to pitch tent in Kenya by 2025. Realizing the trends and issues ahead of time is adamant to the success of my endeavors.

The plan is to engage or run a developer practice whose principles are based on inexpensive architectural solutions that are based on passive and self sustaining design solutions. Company practice should look into ways to eradicate Slum Housing through the use of Government funding and private donations with the promise of CSR publicity, brand awareness and tax returns. On our part we push to make these pro bono projects as practical and affordable as possible. Do not get me wrong, I am not running a practice whose main business is to provide social housing. We are looking to make policies that ensure the wellbeing of the citizens living below X-income is catered for in the housing relm by the big players in the property industry.

Kenya Vision 2030 Kenya is a far fetched idea not many investors can buy into yet. But its promise should gather up momentum to follow or start a revolution in Architecture that can see needs met with revolutionary solutions.

Sustainability & Africa “Global Incentive to achieve sustainable programs is in focus now and after many years of debate on how to start the world is seeing many entrepreneurs and tycoons alike making success at implementing sustainable solutions to everyday challenges.� (accessed 08/08/2016 http://www.undp.org/content/undp/ en/home/sdgoverview/)

The Problems to be addressed

facade application

rooftop application

lowrise street application

Harvesting the Elements

Essentially the DNA makeup of majority of the continent presents major in balances. Financial compounded by a population averaging 25% markup in population size. This simply means if we are to create an all catering housing situation majority of the urban areas have potential to meet dangerous China level density.

A Slum ‘A “slum household” (this is the definition from UN-​HABITAT) says that there should be a group of individuals living under the same roof in an urban area who lack one or more of the following: 1. Durable housing of a permanent nature that protects against extreme climate conditions 2. Sufficient living space, which means not more than three people sharing the same room 3. Easy access to safe water in sufficient amounts at an affordable price 4. Access to adequate sanitation in the form of a private or public toilet shared by a reasonable number of people 5. Security of tenure that prevents forced evictions.’

The reality Let us face the reality. If Africa or Nairobi, Kenya is to look into adequate housing to eradicate “Slum life“ for the greater population we will need to find a model that improves on the one set in pace in most asian cities. In my opinion challenges that tip toe around the inevitable fact that without some very basic services the Architecture has to take up an unconventional dynamic. Provision of what is termed as basics to most of the world such as energy, clean water, and so on have to be taken into consideration on a macro and micro level. In Kenya’s case, fossils are not abundant. A blessing and a curse in my opinion.
