BETCHEL
FREDERICK, MD, September 17, 2010 – H.E. Ali Bongo Ondimba, president of Gabon, met today with Bechtel executives to discuss a new project the company is undertaking for the Gabonese government. Bechtel Chairman and CEO Riley Bechtel and Mike Adams, president of Bechtel’s civil infrastructure unit, hosted the meeting.
Bechtel is providing management and technical support to the Gabonese government as it develops a national infrastructure master plan. The plan will prioritize investment and development needs, while balancing Gabon’s commitment to sustainable development, over the next 10-15 years. In addition, Bechtel is assisting the government in forming a National Agency for Major Projects, which will have the responsibility to implement the approved master plan.
“We are excited to be able to contribute to the implementation of the Government’s vision for the future economic development of the country,” said Mike Adams. “Bechtel has extensive experience in master planning, project delivery, and sustainability services around the world, and we look forward to using these skills for the benefit of Gabon.”
This is Bechtel’s second major project in Gabon. The company played a role supporting Gabon’s economic development planning in the 1980s, when it performed a series of infrastructure and planning studies for the Gabonese government.

L'importance des formes...
You can now buy your Dell computer with customized African artwork. It’s all part of the Product (RED) campaign to support the fight against AIDS. My favorite is the mapping one (for obvious reasons).
More on these two designs:
Shine Within (map): Award-winning artist Siobhan Gunning was born in Mombasa, East Africa and has had the opportunity to visit many of the unique locations in Africa, like the Great Rift Valley, the Serengeti Plains, the Ngoro Ngoro Crater, and even traveling up the Nile to its source. During these travels she has been privileged to observe wildlife in their native habitat and visit with tribes like the Masai and Samburu. Currently residing in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Gunning combines her passion for Africa with her life experiences and her love of art, design and photography, creating digital collages that often result in “happy accidents” that bring her joy.
New World (tribal): African artist Joseph Amedokpo resides in the town of Vogan, Togo (West Africa) with his wife and five children. He supports his family through painting, using locally produced oils he blends by hand, on canvases made from recycled flour sacks. While painting, Amedokpo chats with frequent visitors and listens to a short wave radio, gaining a global perspective on peoples’ failures and weakness, as well at their core strength and hope, which is reflected in his art.

Comment sauver le design gabonais?
Il faut redécouvrir, apprendre et développer le langage visuel de l'art gabonais typiquement gabonais, recenser et étudier ses formes(patterns), sa géométries , les éléments qui constituent ce langage même.

Problem of design in Gabon
In the Gabon , there is no support official support for design, no high priority government program or national design international. There are not school for design.
An example the UK's council promise , to place design at the hearth of growth and renewal in Britain and had launched for design growth fund.
Indian design council joins the Japan design council.Government don't trust in national designer.

Le Design gabonais
Le design Gabon c'est un état d'esprit. Le président Léon Mba le signifiait bien quand il disait "Il faut penser, dormir, se lever tout en pensant au Gabon".

Design
The main designer for the "New Strada" project is Jonathan Kasumba, representing the AADA (African Automotive Design
Association).
For his preliminary sketches he took inspiration not only from the 1969
version of the Strada, but also immersed himself in
the world of contemporary African Masks.
The long
hood, low roof, shallow windows, give the observer the
sense of an athlete waiting to spring into action.
In
African masks a lot of detail is place on the eyes,
nose, mouth and facial surface texture; this is done
to carefully portray the characters true nature.
