SIMPLE BLOCKS
WINNER / Ken Cada School of Mombasa international competition
Mombasa, Kenya 2017
Status: concept
The main idea of the project is compilation of two different principles:
1 - simple modular structure of classrooms
2 - open common space with library in the center as community space
9x9 m modules form closed yard (that is opened from the north), this composition allows to separate classrooms from common courtyard area. Library is the core of this project. This is a space not only for studying but for comunication to. If you want to go to the library you have to go across courtyard, that increase social interactions between students.
All structure materials are simple and cost efficient. Shading elements made from wood.
