ENTRY #512712099
DESIGN STATEMENT
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The proposal is about one unit of a CLASSROOM MODULE.
The main design is born through a simple aggregation formula of interchangeable modules, a patio is shaded crease. This space is cooled by air circulation and protected from the North.
The individual modules will have a double skin that have a strong identity with the traditional Ashanti houses. The double skin also has a threefold function: heating protection, circulating air flows and gradual protection of individuals.
The walls will feature a double materiality. A main rammed earth mud wall. And a second one defined of pressed bricks. The bricks will be placed more or less separated to let inside clarity, sound, shadows, privacy (functional item) pass, and design the different symbols of the Adinkra alphabet (cultural and social item).
PROPOSAL SITE PLAN
The proposal of the site plan creates 3 types of resting places: two outside places (one central and two lateral areas), and 6 patios (covered areas), that connect the CLASSROOM MODULES.
Considering the point that in the tropical climate the best orientation for housing, is to position them with the long side oriented to the East-West, we redefine the original site plan of 10 classroom module aggregation.
In our proposal each unit will be oriented E-W
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION
The estimated budget includes materials and labor, excluding the land value and the specific training on building systems. The final Budget will be over $7.173,56
