Sparkling Bubbles school
Design Team: Epp Jaager, Camiel Weijenberg , Fathurrahma Rahmat, Diane Bognon ( Singapore )
DESIGN STATEMENT
We approached the campus as a total, not a separate building out of context. Our masterplan sees a relation between the buildings and surroundings.
The layout of the school is inspired by Konkomba village – circles inside circles – which vary in radius and height. The heart of the campus is the lower school yard with where students gather under the shade of trees.
The schoolyard is encircled by a cluster of classrooms, supporting buildings and gardens. Interaction between students and teachers occurs inside permanent classrooms. The pockets of gardens connecting the classrooms are used for smaller tutoring groups or relaxation. The four gates connect the campus area with the park a park for recreation and gardening and rest of the surroundings.
The Classroom unit is circular shaped with seating arranged in half circles to encourage students to participate. 40 students can sit in in different levels; which allows the teacher to see everyone from an equal distance and communicate easier with students.
Construction and Building Materials
Rammed earth is used as the main building material. Cement beams and rammed earth walls support the wooden roof trusses, which carry the lightweight roof cover structure. The floors are made of rammed earth with locally available stone plates or river rocks.
The traditional interwoven branches are used for in door louvers and fences to create a ventilated ceiling.
Local materials and working craft are used to build the school so it is self-sustaining in energy and water production.
