African Satellite School Competition Proposal
Design Team: Nada Shuaib, Nifemi Onabanjo, Haime Hailu, Ruth Wondimu
This design solution understands that the school is the community’s shared property that is protected and celebrated as a second home for its students and the society’s traditions. Therefore, creating a community ownership of the school design was a critical focus. This ownership is reflected in the simplicity of its construction techniques where community members can adapt. It is also visible in different scales and types of gathering spaces around the site where school and community events can be obtained.
