African Urban School
The first way to be accepted in African countries, as in politics,
in religion, is to involve the people.
Local building, local design or even a competition, set a pleasant
climate and joy in the school. By taking into account the local
population, the project can also be made economically efficient.
The outer form is defined by simple design. This should give the
parents the feeling that the children are in a safe place and that
their future is being built within these 4 walls.
When entering the building, the atmosphere of a university
develops and gives the feeling of permanence. This is formative
for people without a structured environment. People who grow
up in emerging countries need a structured environment and
straightforwardness. The atmosphere in the courtyard gives the
feeling of working your way up floor by floor, the open groups
and learning spaces allow for retreats in an open way.
The children and students can trust the school and open up.
There is an ideal overview through the control center (the red
block in the middle). There are no niches or opportunities for
unrest.
