ENTRY #673937715
DESIGN STATEMENT
Inspiring students to become lifelong learners is not only the job of the classroom but of every space that impacts the life of a learner. Senegal Seasonings serves as a space that allows students to relax for a meal or a quick bite as they converse with classmates over their current scholastic achievements and trials. As a simple open space, Senegal Seasonings welcomes students to freely sit on the inside of the cool, rammed walls or enjoy the outside covered area as the kitchen cooks up the local dish for the day. The white canvas roof and the light from the mud brick wall create an airy atmosphere for a much needed break in the hectic school day. With both a social environment for interactional learning and an economic design through passive solar energy, Senegal Seasoning utilizes local and natural materials. Gathering students around the table for a meal creates a space for peer to peer learning, invoking the environment of a classroom outside of the regular student teacher relationship of learning.
