The project was inspired by the rich and vibrant African style of school construction. After conducting thorough research on the building regulations in Zambia, I chose to incorporate natural materials that reflect the beauty and authenticity of the local environment. This approach not only aligns with the cultural heritage of the region but also ensures that the school harmonizes with its surroundings, utilizing resources sourced from Zambia and its picturesque landscapes.
This project examines the construction of schools in Zambia, focusing on the processes, materials, and key players involved. It aims to understand how educational infrastructure is developed in urban and rural areas, as well as the common challenges faced, such as funding, accessibility, and the availability of skilled labor. Additionally, it looks at how government policies and community efforts contribute to the success or delays of school construction projects. By analyzing case studies and relevant issues, this project will provide insights into the impact of school construction on educational quality and access throughout the country.
