Research Centre for Nigerian Languages in Ilorin (Nigeria) by BC architects
“ The concept, structure and appearance of the building are shaped by both awareness of the academic environment it will host and respect of local building traditions. The design combines local techniques with high-standards of comfort in order to create individual as well as public environments which provide rest, openness and privacy for all researchers and visitors. The design of the RCNL has its roots in local conceptual elements such as the urban introvert medina, the typologies of the Yoruba palace and courtyard house and the sequence of different spatial atmospheres within a rational grid system. It therefore represents the local identity in a contemporary architectural language. The multitude and complexity of the various languages and dialects found in Nigeria is reflected in the architecture of the centre. Multiple open spaces with different atmospheres connect the various offices, classrooms, meetingrooms,etc. The rationality of the design interacts with the surrounding nature due to the contrast between its very rigid grid system and the organic growth of the gardens and landscape. In this way the RCNL works as a monastery; a quiet study place, closed from the outside, but very open within its walls. A building completely autonomous of its surrounding built environment in terms of water, electricity, etc. . “

Library of Muyinga (2012) by BC Architects
Location: Muyinga, Burundi
The library is organized along a longitudinal covered circulation space. This “hallway porch” is a space often encountered within the Burundian traditional housing as it provides a shelter from heavy rains and harsh sun. Life happens mostly in this hallway porch; encounters, resting, conversation, waiting - it is a truly social space, constitutive for community relations. This hallway porch is deliberately oversized to become the extent of the library. Transparent doors between the columns create the interaction between inside space and porch. Fully opened, these doors make the library open up towards the adjacent square with breathtaking views over Burundi’s “milles collines” (1000 hills). On the longitudinal end, the hallway porch flows onto the street, where blinders control access. These blinders are an important architectural element of the street facade, showing clearly when the library is open or closed. On the other end, the hallway porch will continue as the main circulation and access space for the future school.
