Kashitu School Competition

Idea projektu

This plan draws on the layout form and topological relationship of the traditional primitive tribes in Africa, such as the Tonga settlement.

The overall layout presents a dispersed arrangement centered around the circle's center, but there are also connections between different areas. It's aims to create an environment for students where functional activity areas are independent yet interconnected, providing a better environment for students to study, exercise and communicate.

In terms of the architectural structure, it not only follows the construction methods of local traditional buildings in Africa, but also incorporates the architectural designs for dealing with humidity and heat in Japan and Yunnan, in order to adapt to the local climate conditions. In the scheme design, based on the frequency of building usage, the roof forms of the buildings are roughly divided into three categories.

Due to the limitations of technology and funds, local materials were mostly used for construction. The roofs were all made of the traditional local grass roofs, except for the dormitory area which used lightweight steel structures.
