    January 10, 2020 by Admin

    Moussa Kabore is a 2016 AAI scholar from Burkina Faso, currently studying architecture at the National School of Architecture in Paris.

    Moussa was inspired by the vernecular architecture of his home country. He designed conceptual houses in Ouagadougou such as the Djik brand's clothing store. His concept takes into account the context, the environment in which the building will be located. The building integrates with its site making the whole visual a common element. In addition he uses techniques referring to nature which allows the creation of buildings that respect the environment. Moussa wishes to have these homes built one day to solve the problems of shelter for refugees

Emmanuel Maseruka is from Uganda, studying Global Business at Akita International Business School. He aims to redefine waste management in Kampala (Uganda) by introducing his own “GOMI Economy” model in Uganda which was inspired by Japan’s efficient recycling industry.
