This was an entry to Young Architects Competition: Rwanda Chapel.

Concept:
It is a matter of choice to change the destiny and create a better life
In this project we are inspired by the will of the Rwandan people picking up after the Genocide

The Architecture speaks the language of the people putting this stage behind their back and moving into a brighter future and uniting under their chapel following the path of Light.

The design consists of two elements: one is The Path of Life, which is
a solid, rough concrete wall that doesn’t change throughout the design
representing the harshness of this standing still path

The Path of Light is more fluid, while it flows, it creates magical pockets and spaces within, hence one would find the chapel space and the prayer hall. This line is flexible, translucent when needed, solid where necessary and light transmitting when required, it’s carved through nature carrying it into the interior and reflecting Light into Rukomo.
