Master Plan for a Sustainable Kigutu
Kigutu, Burundi

Capturing the romance between East African elemental aesthetics and inventive off-the-grid sustainability, the master plan for this 40 acre rural mountainous Burundian site manifests the villagers’ love for their land. Yet Kigutu is also a community where conversation creates social fabric. These conversations, that are typically informal, in groups and outdoors, are the impetus for the design of a series of bucolic communal places and spaces that encourage dialogue.
