A proud academic moment for the School of Architecture, as students presented their design competition proposals at the Embassy of France.
The competition challenged students to design a project titled Amphitheater and conference center to be located within the University of Juba. The project responds to the need for a dedicated space to host poetry readings, book discussions, lectures, and cultural events, while also incorporating classrooms for French language instruction.
Five students represented five teams, each composed of three members from 2nd, 3rd and 4th year classes presenting diverse architectural ideas that explored culture, learning, climate responsiveness, and community gathering. Each proposal demonstrated thoughtful responses to context, movement, shade, and social interaction.
The presentations reflected the students’ ability to translate cultural narratives into architectural form, highlighting the role of architecture as a medium for dialogue and exchange.
A meaningful experience that strengthened academic collaboration and celebrated creativity, teamwork, and design excellence
The Deputy French ambassador was impressed and applauded the students, the School and the university for the great job which will be a base to open doors for more collaborations, exchange programs and projects.
The Dean as well appreciated the students and the staffs for the job well done...
SALMURP starts the new year on a good note.
