Client / Ministry of Youth and Sports Democratic Republic of the Congo
This proposal is based on the will to exhibit the delicate intricacy of local arts albeit at a monumental scale. We have sought to recreate the resonance and emotion produced by the extraordinary geometric motives of the local faience-covered façades or even on objects of day-to-day use such as handmade jewellery cases which possess a sophisticated quality in spite of their simple volume.
The interest of this proposal comes precisely from the geometric definition and constructive rationality of it’s elementary box form, while the building’s mozarabic skin is perfectly adapted to the volume.
