ENTRYNUMBER: 678302810
TITLE: DO YOUR THING DIFFERENTLY
DESIGN STATEMENT:
„No education without sanitation!“
visionary Richard Buckminster Fuller once said and he even went farer. To him, not only physical health dependents on hygienic, dignifying designs of sanitation buildings, but also mental health. To him, human growth only could happen, if ones personal space is granted and one is not preoccupied with worrying how to deal with humans most intimate physical needs.
A valid point, considering that one of the biggest challenges in the educational sector in the global south is health related and could be tackled by improving the sanitation standards, while simultaneously foster gender equality.
Therefore the most urgently needed open source type seems to be a sanitation building, providing safe, clean toilets and hand-washing stations.
The suggested design therefore tries to come up with the most basic form thinkable, so that the sanitation situation is always customized to the aimed context and developed together with locals. The building size easily can be adapted due to the modular layout. The needed number of cabins comes along with roofed outdoor spaces which give room for handwashing-stations.
Using local labor and their cultural knowledge the interest in sanitation is to be increased, because people often must be convinced of the benefits of spending money on toilets.
Implementing an alternative waste management could be the key as conversation starter to a topic which is often silenced by cultural taboos and disgust.
In Diakounda Arts village we could test taking care of human waste in a different way. We could save water, protect ground- and surface-water and simultaneously profit from the courage to do things differently.
BUILDING TECHNIQUE:
WASH-Modul uses the Rammed Earth Technique + Earth Bricks for walling + wooden support structure + aluminium roofing sheets
WASH-Hardware are customized Concrete-Formpieces + simple Plastic Barrels
ESTIMATED COSTS:
Foundation + Floor: $1600
(800$ Cement + 200$ Gravel + 600$ Labor)
Rammed Earth Walls: $960
(60$ Sand + 100$ Formwork + 800$ Labor)
Earth Bricks: $300
Supporting Structure: $800
(700$ Woodbeams + 300$ Labor)
Roof: $2300
(1000$ Woodbeams + 1000$ Alu roofingsheets + 300$ Labor)
Furniture: $500
(100$ Formwork + 300$ Labor + 50$ Plastic Barrels)
Total $5660
