1. DESIGN
Africa is a land of symbols and myths, even in architecture.Architecture in West is the architectureof mud and symbols.The building is formed in the embrace of earth,whichis a symbol of motherearth, and rises from it.In this project,the focus was mainly on the impressive women myths.in Togo,itis said that when Uwolowu,God,created mankind,he first created a woman on earth and through hergave birth to the first child, the first human being.Also,a woman without children is a source of regret
in African society, so the position of mother is valuable for delivering an important person to thesociety.With all these myths and values,women have a weak and worthless role in African societiesand are captive to racial discrimination. For this purpose, the design of the project, in addition to thebold functional role, requires a symbolic and rich pattern that speaks of gender equality for the women
of this land and was configured in three cultural, functional and climatic layers.Culture, symbolsand signs:Woman is a symbol of family,unity, mother,child, birth, reproduction and survival. To express this,the Adinkra symbols were inspired.1-Nkonsonkonson symbol meaning Chain,unity,community,which shows the main role of women to create a community.2- Nyame Biribi WoSoro, symbol of hope and inspiration.As the main pillar of the family,women support all members in difficulties.3- Baobab and fractal geometry:In west African culture,these trees are a symbol of collective gatherings,storytelling and ceremonies.whose main geometry form can also be converted into two ovals. placing this tree at the entrance intensifies this symbol.By inspiration of these 3 symbols The volume consisting of 2 ovals in front of each other with different dimensions and heights(large and higher (symbol of men)–small and shorter (symbol of women)) shows the differences gender discrimination The connection of these two with the rectangular volume is a symbol of discrediting gender divisions and creating unity and equality( Like a child who becomes
the link between parents).The oval is a sign of uniqueness and desire for life.This shape represents rebirth, fertility and even immortality,and its combination with the rectangle is a symbol ofearthiness.4-Duafe -A symbol of feminine,patience, prudence, fondness, love, and care.By inspirationof this symbol,climatic,nature pattern(zebra, elephant),plants(bamboo,palm),Two oval volumes aresurrounded by bamboo as if a mother is holding her child and vertical lines remind nature pattern.5-Ebon fence-A symbol of safety, security, and love. Inspiration the form of this symbol in African
fabrics installed in the main entrance, they double this pattern by casting their shadow on the floortoo.Function:The spaces are divided into 3 parts: open, semi-open and closed. When we enter the space from the east, in order to have easy access to the reception area, the waiting area and the staff facing the entrance, on the south side the bathroom, pharmacy and cafe,and on the north side, ward, maternity,operating ,doctor and neonatal observation area are placed.To prevents functional interference On the east side is the patients access corridor and on the west side is the access corridor
for personnel. Climate:earth materials,wooden louvres, thick walls.large openings, the high-height double skin ceiling(air flow freely in space).Raising the floor(cool building, installing plumbing and ventilation pipes),plants and water on the south and north sides(wind direction)for evaporative cooling,bamboo pipes in the floor and terracotta pipes inside the walls (transfer the evaporative cool air in).colored glass bottles in the wall(reduce glare,heat,repel insects).bamboo sloping roof and collecting rainwater.Hygiene:creating public health by separating spaces,a platform for discussion was provided to create mental health by Placing the waiting space ,café&sitting areas (inside and outside),a place for children to play and mother's interaction and trying to prolong the life of the space.
