The agency responded to the international call for tenders launched in March 2012 by the Government of Rwanda for the design of a new school of architecture. This school, with a capacity of 600 students, will be established on a surface area of 5,600 sqm not far from the existing faculty. For this project the agency started from a simple volume on two levels that it has deformed like tectonics deforms the masses: pull on opposite sides and a central fault is created, this is the outer living space of students.
