SHADOWS SCHOOL
- Classroom module
Ticket order: 497588432
Design only uses local raw materials: walls are all made of earth; they have an excellent thermal inertial and are affordable.
The longest wall of the module is made of adobe bricks, a technique that requires very simple equipment. Bricks are disposed rotating each block by an increasing degree factor to create a complex geometry that literally “opens” the façade and achieve geometric patterns with lights and shadows.
The other walls are made with the Atakpamé technique that just needs the craftsmen’s labour. Bamboo cylinders are inserted into the rammed earth to characterize the wall and allow ventilation.
Foundations are made of stones and light concrete mortar to give a solid base and to protect the structure of the building from soil humidity.
Design of the walls and roof allows natural air circulation.
Natural trellis in the north front protects from the direct insulation the most exposed façade in order to keep it fresher.
Classrooms modules are inserted in the landscape respecting the site and its nature. Existing trees protect architecture from strong Harmattan northeast wind.
Design is simple, practicable, economical and with simple construction methods to involve local manufacture.
One wall of the module is a free board that will be customized with drawings by scholars
.
The school can be built step by step, it means module by module according to the finance availability. Each module will be connected to the previous one but they can stand-alone.
Each module allows a flexible use, this is very important as the school will be build in several steps. Classroom module can host other uses too. Here we propose a solution that respects the competition requests for: visitor lounge, office and principal office.
The classrooms are organized around a semi-closed courtyard that is playground and a more private space for scholars. This implantation respects the organization of the traditional village in Ghana.
COST:
Foundation and Floor 2000$ 26% of total amount
Walling (Brick wall, Atakpamé wall with bamboo, trellis) 2700$, 36% of total amount
Roof (corrugated sheet, structure) 1600$, 21% of total amount
Landscaping 800$, 11% of total amount
Miscellaneous 500$, 7% of total amount
Total Expenses 7600, 100% of total amount
