School as Water Infrustructure Site Plan

The village-style layout echoes the texture of the surrounding villages while enclosing courtyards with different functions

Savanna Climate

Long dry season in winter and a wet season in summer.

In the tribe, members of the extended family live in a courtyard called ‘Penc’ built around the central courtyard.

The network format planning fundamentally opposed the organic composite structure and emphasized the difference in lifestyle between African rural areas and European cities.

In addition to orderly drainage, the staggered arrangement of roofs allows sunlight to reflect into the interior from different angles. Through the combination of cables and wooden components, the water storage structure is combined with the outdoor activity place for students. When the structure is filled with water, it can reflect outdoor sunlight into the classroom, forming a rich light and shadow effect.
