REPORT ON COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES BETWEEN THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE BREMEN (SOAB), HOCHSCHULE BREMEN (HSB), GERMANY AND THE FACULTY OF ...
This    report     summarizes       the
whole story of collaboration bet-
ween the School of Architec-
ture Bremen (SoAB), Hochschule
Bremen (HSB), Germany and the
Faculty of Architecture (FoA),
University of Khartoum (UofK),
Sudan. It is an attempt to give a
panoramic highlight of the miles-
tone activities and events that
have helped in fostering the relati-
on between the two institutions sin-
ce its establishment in 2010. These
activities represent the backbone
in the success of the cooperation
and collaboration between the
two universities. The increasing
interest of both institutions in flouris-
hing this mutual relation opens the
prospects and sets the horizon for
its growth and continuity for years
and hopefully for decades. This
interest is believed to be present at
the institutional level as well as the
individual level of all participants
at both universities. I am proud of
being involved in both institutions,
and in fact, I feel myself part of
both.

SoAB STUDY TRIP
SEPTEMBER 2013
In September 2013, the SoAB
organized an academic stu-
dy trip to Dubai and Sudan as
part of a module delivered at
SoAB about building with clay.
The SoAB approached the FoA
exploring the possibilities of colla-
boration within the scope of the
trip and its objectives. The FoA
responded      immediately        by
showing its readiness to pro-
vide whatever might contribute
to the success of the field trip .
Consequently, extensive commu-
nications took place to formulate
a program proposal which was
subject to discussion and revi-
sion by both sides. The visit took
place during the period from
20th to 29th September 2013. The
visiting team from SoAB compo-
sed of 5 academic staff mem-
bers and 14 students. The acade-
mic staff included Prof. Clemens
Bonnen (Head of SoAB), Prof. Dr.
Martin Speth, Dipl.-Ing. Gehadel-
din Adam, Dipl.-Ing. Frank Ass-
mann, and Mrs. Sabrina Winckler.

REPORT ON COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITIES BETWEEN THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE BREMEN (SOAB), HOCHSCHULE BREMEN (HSB), GERMANY AND THE FACULTY OF ...
Later, an academic workshop
    was held to demonstrate the
    structure and activities in the
    FoA and HSB along with the
    demonstration         of    research
    activities and projects in the field
    of building with earth at the uni-
    versity level as well as on the
    country level. The program
    also involved a visit to the Buil-
    ding and Road Research Insti-
    tute (BRRI) at the University of
    Khartoum.
    In the evening of the first day,
    the FoA organized a series of
    public lectures presented by
    three members of the visiting
    team, namely: Prof. Clemens
    Bonnen, Prof. Dr. Martin Speth,
    and Dipl.-Ing. Frank Assmann. The
    objective of those lectures was to
    introduce the academic staff of
    the visiting team to the architec-
    tural community in Khartoum with
    its all sectors including, academic
    and research institutions, profes-
    sional practice society, regulato-
    ry bodies, governmental authori-
    ties, and interested individuals in
    the field of earth architecture.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
PROGRAMS

The visit program involved a
couple of social and cultural
events in which exchange of
information       took      place
between the two parties. These
events included:
- City tour and sightseeing
- Nile cruise organized by the
FoA accompanied by a cultural
show performed by the Natio-
nal Folk Arts Band
- Dinner hosted by the Vice
Chancellor of the U of K.
- Dinner (Sponsored and Orga-
nized by the Engineering Coun-
cil (EC))

It must be mentioned, that the
Embassy of Sudan in Berlin has
played a significant role in the
success of this event through
the issuance of fee-free visas
to the whole group along with
facilitating the communicati-
on with local authorities. The
Republican Palace has also
contributed to the success of
the event through easing the

                                9
issuance of visits permissions
     and equipping the FoA with two
     vehicles which were utilized for
     the transportation of the visiting
     team.

     FIELD TRIPS

     The trip program involved a
     couple of visits to some parts
     of the country with a special
     focus to locations where earth
     architecture is present. The team
     visited the Pyramids of Meroe,
     Dar Al-Manasir, Karima, Soleb,
     El Kurru, Nile cataract as well as
     Portsudan.

WORKSHOPS
In an attempt to enhance
the students’ knowledge and
experience of building with
clay, Prof. Elkhalifa organized a
couple of workshops during his
time at SOAB. The main aim of
these workshops was to highlight
the potentials of clay and to help
in the better understanding of
the characteristics of clay as a
natural building material. These
workshops included:

20.05.2016: PRACTICAL WORK-
SHOP I – CLAY CHARACTERISTICS
AND SOIL TESTS

As part of the Summer semester
2016, this workshop was organi-
zed to study the characteristics
of clay and to conduct some
of the soil tests for different soil
types with varied clay and mois-
ture content.

16-19.11.2016: SEIZE THE EARTH -
BUILD WITH CLAY SYMPOSIUM

The SoAB is enthusiastic about
providing and sharing knowled-
ge about clay as a building-
material       through       design
projects and research activi-
ties. Therefore, a symposium was
organized during the period
from 16-19 November 2016 as
part of the Winter Semester
2016/17 activities aiming at
widening the pool of knowledge
and experience sharing in the field
of building with clay along with
the objective of raising aware-
ness about the potentials of clay.
The workshop served as a prepa-
ratory framework to familiarise the
students with the basic conside-
rations, methods, and techniques
of building with clay as well as the
necessary tools and equipment.
It also aimed at exposing the
students to some international
experiences and advancements
in the field of earth architecture
worldwide. The outcome was
reflected on the project of LFP
through the realization of some

                                       25

“demo components”.
Prof. Dr. Elkhalifa, jointly with Prof.
Speth, were responsible for the
organization of this event.
Pioneers in the field of earth
architecture      from       Germany
and internationally were invi-
ted to present their knowledge,
experience, research and best
practice, namely: Prof. Rowland
Keable, Dipl.-Ing. Tom Leiermann,
and Ms. Jasmine Alia Blaschek.
In the beginning of this workshop,
Prof. Bonnen and Prof. Speth high-
lighted the efforts been made at
SoAB to introduce modules focu-
sing on building with clay. At the
time of the workshop, a group of
40 students from the FoA accom-
panied by Dr. Ahmed Abdallah
were visiting the SoAB. The visiting
group participated in the work-
shop and enriched the discussion
through reviewing the practice of
building with clay in Sudan.
The workshop program also
involved a visit to Lucie Flecht-
mann Platz along with an exhi-
bition that demonstrated the
output of the modules “Building
with Clay” and the design ideas
for LFP competition.

13-15.01.2017:    PRACTICAL
     WORKSHOP II - PREFABRICATED
     COLUMNS

     As part of the Winter Semester
     2016/17, this workshop was orga-
     nized to further demonstrate the
     potentials of clay and provide
     the students with the opportuni-
     ty to explore and practice some
     of the techniques of building with
     clay. Each group of students de-
     veloped a design idea for small
     elements that could be built in
     3 days. The winning idea was a
     prefabricated clay column and
     a portable stand; the workshop
     focused on the production of the
     prefabricated units while the er-
     ection was made in the following
     workshop. The students were ex-
     posed to the experience of pre-
     paring the formwork and the se-
     tup of the production area when
     working with clay, and most inte-
     restingly, experiencing the joy of
     ramming.

     SHOP III – ERECTION OF PREFABRI-
     CATED COLUMNS

     During the first part of the Sum-
     mer Semester 2017, a workshop
     was organized to erect the prefa-
     bricated units, produced during
     the former semester, to form clay
     columns in the room AB 516 in the
     Neustadt Campus. The students
     worked collectively in the setup
     of the room prior to the construc-
     tion commencement. The whole
     group erected two columns of
     clay in the designated space to
     demonstrate the elegance of the
     material and its potentials.

     SHOP IV – CLAY ELEMENTS FOR LFP

     This closing workshop took place
     as part of the Summer Semester
     2017 aiming at producing clay
     elements to be erected in LFP.
     A couple of design ideas were
     developed, however, a clay
     bench was the one that was
     selected for further design ela-
     boration,     and    consequently
     realization. The end product is
     believed to fit good within the con-
     text in harmony with the overall
     elements in the open space of
     the project and in line with its
     concept.
