The Rwanda Cricket Stadium by Light Earth Designs is formed of three linked parabolic vaults.
They closely mimicking the path of a bouncing ball while evoking the cherished hilly topography of Rwanda. The project empowers the development of Rwandan economy using local labour-intensive construction materials and techniques. The building evolves from the cut soil banking with the vaults, adapted from the ancient Mediterranean technique of thin-tile vaulting for new environments, using compressed soil-cement tiles made from site-excavated earth.
