Up! Up! And away…

March 9th at 9pm I will fly out and the mission will begin. As a case study for finishing my diploma at FAUP (Porto Architectural School), I've decided to volunteer and join A4A (Architects for Aid) in one of their humanitarian architecture projects. The projected on which I've been assigned is the construction of the LCCU (Lesotho Children Counseling Unit) centre in Lesotho. The building has been halted and an assessment, survey and new proposal and program will be drawn up in order that the building might finish to be built. Once this is completed a second trip will be organized and I'll be overseeing the building on site. The objective of this blog is to keep record of the work that is being done, both for the benefit of the members of A4A in London, FAUP to whom I'll also be reporting, my own record as well as friends and family that might want to know what I'm up to. Please comment on any post that you have an opinion, as this will undoubtedly help me in the completion of my thesis.

Not again.

After a meeting this morning I had to redesign the kitchen layout for what is now either the 3rd or 4th time… I wish we just all reached an agreement and stuck to it!

Besides that my morning was filled by a visit to the LCCU to show Richard Graham, Comic Relief, Sentebale’s involvement and the progress on this project.

The changes today had not been many but I think he was happy with what he saw. The steps on the courtyard (the other side) should now be finished and that gives the space a new more complete look, if we forget that there is no roof in half of it!
