In resource-constrained places, small can be powerful.
In the fifth episode of the Holcim Awards 2023 limited webinar series, we speak with Juergen Strohmayer of DeRoché Strohmayer and Akl Akl of Akl Architects.
Their respective Holcim Award-winning projects from the Middle East and Africa region - Gold winner Surf Ghana Collective (Busua, Ghana) and Bronze winner Kfar Houneh Ecolodge (Kfar Houneh, Lebanon) - examine the role of small-scale architecture as a catalyst for change.
Surf Ghana collective transforms an existing beachside building into a community space that fosters collaboration, independence, and entrepreneurship amongst the youth of Busua.
Kfar Houneh Ecolodge seeks to protect and showcase the biodiversity and history of the region where it is located.
Here’s what you can expect to learn in this webinar:
1️⃣ How can a small project have an outsized, positive impact on its neighbourhood?
2️⃣ How is the design process unique? How is the community or the ecology given a voice?
3️⃣ What are the architectural strategies and features that reduce cost and environmental impact?
4️⃣ How is success in such projects defined and assessed?
