PROJECTS TO BE PRESENTED DURING THE EVENT

Project #1: Beauty that heals

Start year: 10.01.2023

On behalf of AKDN (AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK), TAMassociati has developed the expansion project of the Kisumu hospital. The first project lot involves the construction of a new hospital facility with 110 beds, 4 operating and intensive care rooms, spaces for diagnostics, maternity, pediatrics, for a total area of 8530 m2 distributed over four floors and basement. The master plan of the new hospital plans to expand the current hospital structure already in operation to 400 beds. The first lot project involves the construction of 110 hospital beds, 4 operator and intensive care rooms + spaces for diagnostics and maternity and pediatrics for a total area of 8530 sq.m distributed over four floors and basement. The hospital will have a major urban and local impact and will be a new urban landmark. Great attention was given to the thermal “passivity” of the envelope in order to minimize the use of systems and air conditioning.

Project #2: Vocational Training Centers in Darfur, Sudan

Start year: 08.11.2023

The Vocational Training Centres we designed in Darfur, Sudan, are a concrete example of how sustainable design can have a positive social, economic and environmental impact. They are a result of a decision by the Sudanese government, in partnership with GIZ (German Cooperation), to create economic growth and opportunities for social improvement for the young local population, internally displaced persons and refugees in Darfur. The Vocational Training Centres, under construction in the cities of El Fasher and El Geneina, will play an important role in the country’s economic development and meet the needs of businesses for specific skills and creating new opportunities for income generation, well-being and social inclusion. In addition, the buildings have high bioclimatic and energy-saving standards.
