    It's good to see Rwanda turning itself around and building itself up after all the bad times. It just proves that these other corrupt administrations in Africa really have no excuse.

    I miss the old days when you needed a house built, all you had to do was brew a few pots of sorghum beer. You called in the male members of the village. Poles were hurriedly gathered from the forest, mud was missed up, grass cut and carried to site and voila! A house was built in a day with great cheer.That was the Africa our children will never know😭

    Glad the project was given to an African company, and not Indians or Chinese as we see it in many African countries

    Yes they are affordable which is a good thing, but where is the beautiful expression in them that make the developing youth proud to live there. Affordable houses don't have to look ugly and resented. A point to think about. I come from an architectural background and i know that one could still build something beautiful yet affordable at the same time. It's all about design creativity. Give the youth something that would empower them and give them a sense of pride, creativity and a forward-thinking mindset. Beauty doesn't equate to expensive. All you have to do is add simplicity to good desgn. Get in touch with me please as i have way better ideas. I am thinking of organic 3D printed fully functional houses that take a maximum of 10 days per house to build. I can also work with researchers to ensure that these houses' facades are resillient to the external climate of Rwanda. These houses are also cheap to build and are beautiful and look apart to the organic green Rwandan environment. It's time to start implementing 3D printing technology in affordable houses.
