Featured Project

Solukhumbu Education Project - Basa Secondary School
Complete
Chapter Project located in
Basa
Nepal
Edge of 7 and Architecture for Humanity are collaborating on the Solukhumbu Education project in Nepal. This is a collaborative effort with Austin, Seattle, Boston, & Denver chapters. The design and development of the Basa Higher Secondary School will be by the Denver chapter. A four room school with six toilets will provide great opportunities for 150 students each year to continue their education when they might not previously have had the option. Denver will be researching the potential benefits of rammed earth and bamboo construction, as well as study alternative roof building methods.

New Project in Kisumu Kenya

Update posted by Jennifer McDaniel on October 6, 2011
We are just getting a new project off the ground for the Joyland Special School (primary & secondary) in Kisumu, Kenya.  This school is an important opportunity for physically disabled children to get a valuable education.  However, much of their connecting infrastructure is inadequate for true accessibilty around the campus and within their various facilities.  We will be working with the Disability Development Foundation,  Crutches for Africa, Boulder Kisumu Sister City to develop design ideas for better, accessible circulation and a masterplan for successfu

Comment by WarrenD on May 29, 2012 to New Project in Kisumu Kenya

 

I've heard about the start of this project for JSS but unfortunately I failed to follow the whole process. How was it? Or how is it going now? If it's possible and necessary, I could probably participate in it and give some help. Anyway, if this is still in effect, please, contact me!

Comment by Espinoza80 on April 16, 2012 to New Project in Kisumu Kenya

How's the success of the project? I heard a lot about it and was very interested in how it was going... What you're doing is just great, really! Not only education is important for disabled kids, but also the opportunity for socialization which is given to them by you...

Yours faithfully. My contacts http://freearchiver.org/

Comment by FischerE on April 10, 2012 to Trip to Nepal!

Lucky you are, I wish I could go to some African country and get to know their culture and life style better, and your purpose of visit is very generous, by the way. I wish you the best of luck with your trip and building a school!

Meeting Notice

Comment by Jennifer McDaniel on July 19, 2011 to July All Member Meeting

Hi Gregg,

First of all, let me say I'm sorry we missed out on having you at our meeting.  We actually did send out notification emails to our member email list over two weeks in advance.  In terms of posting to the Chapter Network, I'm one of the new co-directors and just received administration rights to post new events the day I posted the meeting.

Our plan is to have meetings the third week of each month and we are currently planning the exact date for the August meeting.

We will be having design workshops on the next four Wednesdays at Sugar Bake Shop at 5:30p for our new school projec in Basa, Nepal with Edge of 7 if you're interested.

Please send an email to denver@architectureforhumanity.org to be put on our member email list.

Thank you,

Jennifer McDaniel, Co-DIrector

July Meeting ?

Comment by Gregg H Rake on July 18, 2011 to July All Member Meeting

Why was such short notice given for the meeting on July 14th? I am a new member and I don't live in Denver and I really was looking forward to going to my first meeting. Three days notice (July 11th) is too short...can we get at least 2 weeks notice for the next meeting?

Thanks,

Respectfully, Gregg H Rake

Habitat Build Day

Comment by Kirsti Hanson on February 9, 2011 to AFH Denver Update

Dear Ms. Karlan,

I would like to volunteer for the habitat build day on March 5th, if there is still room?

Also, could I confirm the meeting is on Wednesday the 23rd at H&L?

Thank you very much for the updates,
Kirsti Hanson
