Idea projektu

This project aims to create an inclusive and functional educational environment where young individuals can gain both academic knowledge and practical skills. Designed in response to local climate conditions and limited natural resources, the building prioritizes sustainability by offering highly efficient water and energy solutions. Through the use of local materials, it seeks to achieve both economic and cultural harmony with its surroundings. The project aspires to establish a resilient, adaptable educational infrastructure that supports personal development and encourages engagement with the wider community.

Popis projektu

The campus layout follows a linear flow on flat terrain. Starting from the entrance, the sequence moves through the reception, multipurpose hall, classrooms, and laboratories in a straight line without breaks. The first spatial break occurs before the kitchen and library, marking a transition to shared social and practical spaces. A second break leads to the separate dormitories for girls and boys, providing quieter, private areas. Workshops for agriculture, cooking, tailoring, and metalworking are positioned at the site edges to encourage community interaction. These breaks help organize the campus according to function and privacy needs.

Technické informace

Buildings are constructed primarily with Interlocking Compressed Earth Blocks (ICEB), providing durability and thermal comfort using local materials. Design features include large roof overhangs to optimize shading and airflow. Passive cooling utilizes prevailing southeast winds and natural ventilation. Rainwater harvesting and solar energy systems contribute to the campus’s water and power needs. The approach prioritizes local labor and low-maintenance solutions for sustainability in a rural context.
