rise’s first program includes an architectural design and build training program called “in loco,” running from fall 2017 to fall 2018 at the God’s Love Centre Orphanage.
in loco is a unique hands-on design and build experience, focused on knowledge exchange, capacity building, cooperation and development.
Following a “hands-on, bottom-up” approach, and working in close collaboration with members of the local community, in loco engages local NGOs, students and young graduates from local architecture and construction courses, as well as international participants with an interest in architecture, development, sustainability and the built environment to create a network of shared knowledge and experience to help change the cities and rural villages of tomorrow.
