By revitalizing local culture and architecture to limit the impact on the environment and ensure locals accept the project, the Niandji interpretation centre wishes to create a gathering site that fosters exchanges and learning, where WCS scientists, tourists, and villagers evolve collaboratively. Thus, the architectural intervention puts forth the implementation of three poles in accordance with the landscape, namely welcoming tourists, accommodation, and a science centre at the main site. Secondary accommodations are also offered on satellite sites scattered throughout the national park territory. Whether it be along rivers or within the fully protected forest, these accommodations help raise tourists’ awareness about flora and fauna conservation, while providing an observation and research site for WCS scientists. Finally, the use of traditional construction techniques and in-situ materials (soil, raffia, wood) is conducive to job creation and the transfer of know-how to guarantee the project’s sustainability as well as the populations’ autonomy.
