Learning Pavillon: Classrooms Typology in Abetenim, Ghana

DESIGN STATEMENT:
My design advances demands on the follows the local traditions. After analysing the local typology of architecture, the meaning of Adinkra symbology and the different rural material available on site, I have choosen to pursue my personal project with the configuration of classrooms.
Each complex includes ten classrooms with one common hallway of connection, set along the same inner perimeter, surmounted from an unique covering and connected by the external of two access points and two secondary ones to reach the specular gardens. Each classroom, is design for twenty students, which encloses a different typology in learning from a simple lectio frontalis to another one more collective.
The construction is placed on a cement concrete basement beyond its outer limit overlooking a raised cover, built with wood beams and metal sheets, supported from a net of mesh pillars and characterize by an inclination due to create an internal impluvium for draining water in rainy periods. The surrounding walls are wholly in earth and realized, according to Rammed Earth’s method, except for the walls of the external perimeter in which exists a studied texture in guaranteeing better internal conditions of drightness and ventilation.
The whole project is established on full respect of traditions, and for this reason it supplies a planimetrical proposition. Linked to Adinkra symbol of “support, cooperation and encouragement”, suitable terms founded for students’ formation with coverage in readjustment of the local building system, not only throughout the usage of rural resources, but even with respecting the home shooting at courts, one of the most utilized typology housing and preferred by the village itself.
COSTRUCTION’S COSTS
FOUNDATION
Corrugate zinc sheets: 1096,03 mq = 130 USD x 2= 260 USD
Cement concrete: (29,10 m x 35,40 m x 0,70 m) mc x 0,30 kg= 216,33 kg
