Rwanda Housing Project
The Rwanda Housing Project is a critical survey of 370 self-build homes depicting the structures, landscape, and infrastructure that the Masoro community members built for each other. Also on view is a scroll-like drawing of historical Rwandan flora, fauna, and architectures since the pre-colonial time, to situate the contemporary autoconstruction practices. Since 2019, a team of Syracuse Architecture students led by Yutaka Sho has been digitizing sketches and measurements that their counterparts at the National University of Rwanda have gathered in rural Masoro.
