IT TAKES A COMMUNITY TO RAISE A CHILD
“It takes a village to raise a child”
Architectural/Urban Coherence
512803681
Our proposal approaches the challenge from a village scale rather than looking at the design challenge from a micro scale of the building typologies. The team proposes to re-think the tentative master plan because of certain design
considerations and urban strategy.On a village scale, we have positioned sporting facilities closer to the site boundary/road to aid community engagement.
“The hall” we believe can be “multi-functional” with a possibility for it to be an assembly/school events hall, cafeteria, community hall and a sports pavilion. It’s positioning will however allow the community to have access to the sporting facilities without interfering with the normal school activities. Also, zoning the sporting facilities away from the staff area will also allow for privacy and avoid potential noise pollution from the sporting area generated by the students.With an understanding that social architecture doesn't have to be mediocre because it’s low budget and locally made, we propose a new master plan using a different cluster concept and approach since the present proposal is still tentative.
This will not only make the idea of modular building easy but it also begins to suggest a better strategy for incremental replication. We propose a master plan adopting the beehive concept for its layout and this is a module that has been tested across the entire master plan with all typologies thereby creating a great sense of territorial coherence, which knits itself with its immediate landscape of palm trees and vegetation. We propose to also have a flexible cluster concept that can develop into a series of angled interconnected enfilades of courtyards creating a series strong axis across the entire campus. The cluster concept has however allowed for a variation in size and positioning thereby allowing for an interesting juxtaposition geometrical scale and function.
