Last weekend we closed the SPRK summer programme with “Future by Design: Young Voices in Architecture” at Ndinda Hub, Kigali ✨🏛️ Visitors from Rwanda, Uganda & beyond—including industry leaders—joined us to celebrate design & collaboration 🌍 #FutureByDesign #SPRK

A big highlight of the SPRK Summer programme has been our studio engagement with @journeyman_intl They offered guidance through crits, shared projects & insights on presentation + narrative development ahead of the final exhibition on 13th September 📌 #SPRK

As part of the SPRK learning experience, we visited the Gikondo Wetland Rehabilitation Project, engaging with professionals on its phased plan to blend recreation, leisure & institutional development across different zones. A strong example of urban ecology in action 🌱 #SPRK

This site analysis will inform new design proposals as we move toward interventions. Exciting next steps ahead ✨ 2/2 #SPRK
