PHOTOGRAPH OF RWANDA’S ILLUMINATED ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL BY EDWIN SEDA

Edwin Seda in collaboration with a French based architecture firm Patrick Schweitzer Architects, created a series of photographic essays that captured the Faculty of Architecture and Environmental Design in Kigali, Rwanda. Architecture works with natural light to bring illumination to projects depends on the purpose of various projects. Seda’s work on the Kigali school of architecture explores light as a medium for illuminative transformation, a kind that only materialize on completed buildings with spaces following seasonal change.

In an effort to find a value in architecture that goes beyond the human touch, architect and photographer Edwin Seda through his work established the fact that photography is the epitome of human touch. It has always been an inspiration for Edwin Seda to dress up, a somewhat self-contradiction too, as the images explore architecture within Kigali as a vulnerable and dramatically resilient concept, persuaded by light and the lens as a third dimension.

Following the different in construction narratives of optimism and the basic underserving of good and bad weather, happiness and expressive sadness, busy and leisurely schedules, so Edwin Seda’s images are in constant pursuance of the narrative of light and human experience, explored through internal and external spaces and although sometimes somewhat accidental, the images are fantastically honest in the way they portray light and space, just the way we perceive the spaces we walk in.
