卢旺达·科梅拉领导中心

BE_Design 自豪地推出科梅拉领导中心，该中心位于卢旺达东部农村省份，为年轻女性提供健康、教育和辅导项目，也是家庭发展倡议和社区聚会的场所。领导力中心战略性地坐落在乡村足球场对面的主干道上，是当地居民急需的社区和教育中心。

BE_Design proudly presents the Komera Leadership Center, a facility in the rural eastern province of Rwanda providing health, education, and mentorship programs for young women, and a place for family development initiatives and community gatherings. Strategically set on the main road, across from the village football pitch, the Leadership Center acts as a much needed community and education hub for local residents.

建筑的中心设有一个灵活的空间，可作为聚会大厅或一系列教室，以容纳社区希望领导力中心开展的各种活动和项目。大型铰链半透明面板改变了空间，关闭时形成三个教室。当面板打开90度时，它们会创建一个大型会议厅来容纳社区。当完全打开至270度时，该空间可以容纳大型活动，例如表演和仪式。相邻的大型存储空间实现了这些空间功能的转变。

The heart of the building features a flexible space that functions as a gathering hall or a series of classrooms to accommodate the wide variety of activities and programs the community wanted for the Leadership Center. Large, hinging translucent panels transform the space, creating three classrooms when closed. When the panels are opened 90 degrees, they create a large meeting hall to accommodate the community. When fully opened to 270 degrees, the space can accommodate larger events such as performances and ceremonies. Large adjacent storage spaces enable these transforming spatial functions.

屋顶形式、编织的桉树屏风和砖块图案的灵感来自于该地区传统的“Imigongo”艺术，并与卢旺达语“Komera”联系在一起，意思是“坚强、勇敢”。大屋顶连接了行政、健康和咨询、教室和聚会、厨房和餐厅空间，为分组讨论和非正式会议创造了丰富的有顶外部空间。巨大的桉树屏风为外部空间提供了遮荫、封闭感和隐私感。  

The roof forms, woven eucalyptus screens, and brick patterns are inspired by traditional “Imigongo” art originating from the region, and carry an association with the Rwandan word “Komera”, meaning “to stand strong, and to have courage.”  The large roof connects the administration, health & counseling, classroom & gathering, kitchen & dining spaces, creating an abundance of covered exterior spaces for break-out classes and informal meetings. The large eucalyptus screens provide shade and a sense of enclosure and privacy for the exterior spaces.  

该中心与卢旺达乡村企业(RVE)合作，绝大多数材料均来自当地。BE_Design 雇用了当地劳动力，平均女性比例保持在40%，并提供现场熟练劳动力培训、良好的收入和储蓄账户、个人防护装备和安全设备以及适销对路的建筑技能。该公司还与社区密切合作，他们的贡献从中心的构思到完成都至关重要。

In collaboration with Rwanda Village Enterprises (RVE), the Center was constructed with the vast majority of materials being locally sourced. BE_Design employed a local workforce that maintained an average of 40% female representation, and provided on-site skilled labor training, good income and savings accounts, PPE and safety equipment, and marketable construction skills. The firm also worked closely with the community, and their contributions were vital from conception to completion of their center.
