As a newly established department within Makerere University’s College of Engineering, Design, Art, and Technology, the Architecture Department marked its growth and identity with the annual group photo, an enduring tradition that brings together students from first to fifth year in a vibrant celebration of unity and creative ambition.
Captured on the iconic steps of CEDAT, the photo reflects the evolving journey of aspiring architects from foundational sketches to visionary final-year projects. Faculty members stood proudly alongside students, celebrating the energy, talent, and dedication that define the department.
More than a photograph, the moment served as a collective reflection, an opportunity to honor progress made and envision the possibilities ahead. With Kampala’s skyline as their canvas, Makerere’s architecture students continue to shape the future of design and urban transformation.
This year’s photo carries added significance, marking the department’s full-fledged status under the leadership of Arch. Dr. Kenneth Ssemwogerere, a milestone that signals growth, leadership, and a renewed commitment to architectural excellence.
