With an entry price of sh10,000, attendees can even have a possibility to interface with business consultants like architects, engineers, bodily planners and inside decorators, who will likely be facilitating throughout panel discussions and workshops.
Talking of structure, Abdu Wahab Nyanzi, an architect says architectural providers are as essential a wholesome dwelling surroundings and wellness.
Everybody retires to some form of abode on the finish of the day. In all equity, such lodging needs to be designed by an architect. “All form of lodging to which we retire to on the finish of our work day requires an architect’s contact.
All elements that talk to wholesome and organised dwelling can solely be addressed by way of good technical of pros,” he explains.
Nyanzi says slums are thought-about as a number of the lowest of dwelling areas, for instance, however we all know that some slums have high-end housing designed by architects.
The low-end housing is what has not benefited from providers of architects a lot.
It’s, subsequently, excessive time that dwellers or landlords in these areas adopted architectural providers to allow them construct even cheaper homes in an orderly method.
Structure is embedded in all our dwelling and dealing environments. Individuals expertise it on a regular basis, however have by no means understood that it doesn’t sit within the cement and brick – it’s all round us.
“There may be, subsequently, want to teach Ugandans that architects are able to serve them any time and inside their monetary means.

Pretend plans
Robert Kiggundu, the outgoing chairman of Architects Registration Board says the reason for collapsing buildings goes past structure and constructing plans.
This doesn’t exonerate circumstances the place skilled negligence has been discovered. As an illustration, a lot of buildings collapse as a result of property house owners didn’t make use of professionals within the first place.
Nyanzi provides that man property builders assume that after they’ve plans, they’ll supervise and handle their building tasks on their very own.
How fallacious! “You want the providers of the architect from inception to occupation of the constructing. There’s a lot that occurs throughout building that solely an architect can advise on.
It needs to be remembered that building is a really costly enterprise which shouldn’t be left within the arms of armatures. The choice to make use of unqualified folks to direct expenditure of 1’s hard-earned financial savings is unthinkable,” he says.
Should each constructing have a plan?
Every little thing constructed will need to have a plan beginning with pit latrine, says Kiggundu.
“If you go to junctions round Kampala there are small little buildings, they’ve put up that are management centres for visitors lights. I’m sorry to say that they appear so ugly the place they’ve been positioned. Simply taking a look at them is a transparent indication that no structure was concerned in any respect of their conceptualization.”
In keeping with him, nevertheless small a constructing possibly, an architect should be concerned in getting it stunning and purposeful.
“Many homes are simply constructed, with out being purposeful. The corridors are within the fallacious place and the doorways swing within the fallacious course,” Kiggundu deliberated.
