KASHITU SCHOOL COMPLEX

Idea projektu

The project proposes a modular, climate-responsive school campus in Kaschitu, Zambia, designed to foster education, self-sufficiency, and community participation. Rooted in local traditions and materials, the architecture promotes dignity, accessibility, and long-term sustainability. The main goal is to empower the community through both education and construction — enabling future replication with minimal resources.

Popis projektu

The campus includes academic classrooms, science labs, workshops, dormitories, a dining area, and service facilities. The buildings are grouped to support natural ventilation, shade, and outdoor learning. The layout encourages a balance between collective activities and individual well-being, while respecting local customs and climate.

Technické informace

Buildings are constructed using interlocking compressed earth blocks (ICEB), laid on concrete slabs and covered by raised corrugated metal roofs for passive cooling. Cross-ventilation, thermal mass, and strategic orientation reduce energy demand. All structures are based on modular dimensions to simplify construction and encourage local replication.
