2018 starting off with a bang..:)....Myself and the talented Queen, Viva Mugambi emerged winners of an International design competition coming first out of 13 other applicants from across Africa.
"The competition put forward by Sustainable Carbon Cycle Industries (SCCI, Bonn, Germany) called for proposals by various African Architectural Institutions to nominate students who submitted design proposals for a sustainable production facility that meets the cultural traditions of the country, follows sustainable design principles and has developmental potential. The winning proposal by Ms. Madete and Ms.Mugambi will be implemented in phases across different African countries the first being Tanzania. “The standard of the design and the level of performance provided by the architects equates to any international standard, if not even surpassing these.” Tobias Loewe (SCCI CEO) and Dominik Kagerer (SCCI COO)."
