In honour of world-marathon record-holder Eliud Kipchoge, President Uhuru Kenyatta issued a directive for the construction of a multi-million Library at the athlete’s home village of Kapsisisywa, Nandi Country. Kipchoge made history after becoming the first-ever athlete to run a marathon under two hours – clocking 1:59:40 at the INEOS 1:59 Challenge staged in Vienna, Austria.
Blink Studio Ltd took the initiative to design a spectacular library as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR).
The facades were designed to symbolize;
a) Athletes running, their legs abstracted to form columns at irregular intervals and angles
b) Books arranged in a shelf have been abstracted to form the vertical sun shading elements painted in a variety of colours
Designed as “an inspiring place for gathering, learning and discovery”.
