Mali

IAA1588

The herb market is situated at the northwest corner of the Medina Coura market, in Bamako, the capital of Mali. The project occupies a very small part of the market (440 m2) and consists of 10 baked-brick cupolas built on a stone platform and disposed in circle around a patio. Each cupola shelters two market stalls for the sale of medicinal herbs. The architect's intention was to exlore as much as possible, local materials (earth and stone), avoiding the use of wood ("not to contribute to desertification"), and of imported materials such as concrete and steel. Ten brick cupolas are disposed within a circle with 10.5 metres radius, on a slightly raised, round platform made of stone. The central patio they form is partially shaded by a structure consisting of the lower third of a central brick dome which connects all the cupolas and provides shade along the patio circulation area. In the centre a raised bench defines a circular bed where a tree grows. Each cupola shelters the storage and exhibition areas of two stalls. The platform was divided into twelve parts, two being for the entrances and the rest for the cupolas. These were disposed asymmetrically in two groups of six and four cupolas, so that the entrances to the ensemble were oriented to the most favourable accesses from the rest of the market. The constructive system is based on the exclusive utilisation of structures working by compression: arches, vaults, and domes. The materials were local stone for the ground platform and baked earth brick for the arches, vaults, and cupolas. The arches and vaults were built with the help of wood forms made on site. The mortar used in both cases was made of sand and cement. No renderings or finishes were required. Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture

Mauritania

Recipient of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1995. Kaedi is located in a remote sector of Mauritania, near the border of Senegal. Its hospital serves a rural population. The extension adds 120 beds to the hospital, an operating theatre complex, paediatric, surgical and ophthalmic departments, a maternity and general medical unit, a laundry, kitchens, storerooms, a garage, and a workshop. The architects were not to replicate the earlier hospital's conventional concrete-frame buildings; their brief was to house the planned facilities by developing new low-cost techniques of construction employing local materials and skills, that would be applicable to other building types within the region. All workmen were local, trained on the site to perform the new techniques. Although the use of brick is not a part of the local vernacular, the architects chose to develop a structural vocabulary of hand-made brick, fired in kilns built near the source of clay. The structural repertoire that emerged, after on-site experimentation with a number of domes and vaults, included simple domes, complex domes, conventional half-domes, pod-shaped spaces, and self-supporting pointed arches which form winding circulation corridors. The overall plan for the hospital extension was derived from these forms. Adequate natural light enters the complex through glass blocks set into the brickwork and from interstices left between the brick arches. The response of both doctors and patients has been positive, and the community takes pride in the fact that the medical facility was built by their own people. The jury believes that the innovative construction techniques introduced may have wide significance, particularly since the successful functioning of the hospital should encourage similar initiatives elsewhere.
