The key aspects of Fatemi education are “to listen diligently, remember, act in conformance, and propagate it.” The campus is conceived as a vibrant city that allows diverse routine, empirical, and spiritual learning opportunities and continuous environment to act in conformance with the acquired knowledge. We approached the Nairobi Jamea at three scales:

1. The larger scale, which is the holistic treatment of spatial organization of voids and buildings, functions, circulation, and infrastructure;
2. The middle scale of the site plan, which describes how the buildings and various spaces are organized; and
3. The smaller scale of human landscape — this is the city as the students and faculty members who will use the city space experience it daily at eye level. At this scale we worked with the 5km/hr architecture framework where the scale, senses, and dimensions are designed for human comfort.
