International architecture competition
Our entry for the international competition Kaira Looro peace pavilion.

The pavilion is located along Casamance Riverside in city of Sedhiou. The characteristics of the area insist simple but powerful design with local sustainable materials.

The idea is to memorise the victims of the war and rise awareness about history of African wars as well as being a symbol of peace and memory. The pavilion idea is to design a path of memory, where every visitor can choose their own way from war exhibition and gallery to peace and final destination - memorial for contemplation.

Shape is developed from a spiral and emerged with circular shape, leading visitor trough history of wars. Pavilion is representation of wholeness and harmony.
