CobBook School
Classrooms in Abetenim, Ghana
It takes a whole village to raise a child, it takes a whole village to build a school. All children should have the right to go to school. A place where he enters in order to be instructed. Then one day, he left his school, therefore ready to face his future, emancipated and confident.
With two odd facades, making up an L-shaped structure, the project recalls an open book. "The knowledge book". The monolithic facade protects from the dry and dusty wind and reveals the institutional function of the building dedicated to education thanks to a pediment as massive as welcoming. This is the main entrance of the building, which serves two classes of 4.5m x 9m each. While the second facade is thin and slender through a rhythm of black steel poles on which the roof overhang is sited. This is a breezeway shelter from the sun or rain. Each class consists of 15 desks that host 45 students and a teacher placed on the platform with a blackboard.
The facades are dissimilar, but they are nevertheless coherent in their context and in the modest use of materials, thus unifying the character of the building. The actual urban context is a composition of rectangular patio houses with a facade quite closed to the outside and an open facade that overlooks the courtyard. The traditional Ashanti buildings have the same typology with posts and courtyard. The project perpetuates this urban language through a mirror game of 4 L-shaped buildings (BOOK) together making up an ensemble which is clustered around an inner courtyard. About materials, the project emphasizes the use of local resources and materials, with an obstinacy for earthen construction techniques such as Atakpame (COB). The CobBook School is a crucible from where tradition and future merge together : preserving the heritage of Ashanti culture and adapt it to the world of tomorrow.
