PROJECT: Standard Lesotho Bank - IDAL (Intellectual Disabilities Autism Lesotho) Position: Fellowship Project Brief: Rise International is a non-profit company registered in Lesotho with registration number 68131, Happy Villa, Maseru Lesotho. At RISE, there is a Design & On-site training program (In-loco- Learning by doing) where I got a chance to be part of the 2019 cohort. It was a social resposibility project where I volunteered on a fellowship to design and build an Income Generating Facility Centre for Youth of IDAL. At the fellowship, we were a cohort of 13 graduates from different institutions in Architecture, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Water & Environmental Engineering, Carpentry, Agriculture, Education. This was a participatory design so we had to know our clients well and how they would like their centre to look like. On the fellowship, I had to switch different roles every 2 months because it was a learning experience which has exposed me to different disciplines but also working as a labourer on the project. I had a chance to work as : • Plant & Logistics coordinator • Site Architect • Health & Safety Rep On a site of about 9000sqm and a perimetre of about 430m, which is an agricultural land but leased to IDAL for 20 years to use it for their income generating centre. We had wlto design a structure that is temporary. We designed a Timber Pavilion which entails: • 2 multi-purpose halls • Offices • Kitchen & Pantry • Sun-room To add more, we designed footings with steel and casted concrete into car-tires as we were not allowed to bond the soil with concrete at all and on our project, we did not use concrete and mortar at all. Finally, we had a shipping container on-site (2.5 x 12m) that we also converted into a Consulting Room and the first ever Sensory Room in Lesotho. The site is in the fields so we had to dig a bore-hole for clean water and buil environmentally friendly toilets, provide space for farming, Fence around the site and build a guard house. 3.
