Women’s Centre in Rufisque / Hollmén Reuter Sandman Architects
In the spring of 1996, a group of students from the Department of Architecture at the Helsinki University of Technology travelled to Senegal to address a challenge through architectural means. Among them were Saija Hollmén, Jenni Reuter, and Helena Sandman, students at the time. They were introduced to the work of a local women's group, who suggested the idea of designing a centre for the women's associations in their neighbourhood. Initially, this was undertaken as a learning exercise.
