School in Ghana in our opinion should focus the most on the best educational conditions in hard enviroment. Our design modifies classical funcional class plan - rectangle - to another - circle. This intervention provides better distance from last bench to board. Each row of benches is situated on platform - first row is the lowest, last row is highest. This enables better view for every student. Circural plan also helps with fitting in more students on small surface. It is more convienient for kids as well as for teachers - they can see everone and have more control over them. This arrangment provides better acoustics and open discussion opportunieties for students.
Design in specific way connects classroom building. The look of traditional african houses inspired us to trasform and connect it. This prodecure causes look of the wave and binds together each building to make common area. Common area in front of classrooms is very important when it comes to building social contacts. People can spend the break together on talking, playing or simply sitting in shadow avoiding the heat.
The material used on roof is thatch. It is very effective in many ways. It this climate pouring rains are everyday atmospheric phenomenon. Thatch mutes the noise from the rain and don’t disturb in guiding lessons. It has more advantages in comparison to corrigended sheet. It looks better, provides better air flow and is more friendly to the enviroment.
The material used to construct walls will have to be pressed brick made out of local materials such as mud, sand, soil with a little addition od cement. It is very simple to produce and does not require specialistic machines.
