Acholi Architecture

Engineering in physics, represents the practical application of fundamental physical principles to solve real-world problems and design systems that improve daily life. By leveraging concepts such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, engineering physics bridges the gap between theoretical science and innovative technology. It enables the creation of tools, machines, and infrastructures that address challenges in energy, transportation, healthcare, and agriculture.

Acholi Furniture

Acholi furniture is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the Acholi people in Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan. Traditionally, furniture-making focused on durability, symbolism, and functionality, with artisans using locally sourced hardwoods such as mahogany, afzelia, and shea tree wood. Stools, wooden chests, and hand-carved beds (Kitanda) remain central to Acholi households, leadership settings, and cultural ceremonies. Many of these pieces are decorated with geometric carvings, clan symbols, and natural motifs, representing social status, spiritual beliefs, and ancestral connections.
