A Learning course [ K a i r a L o o r o P r i m a r y S c h o o l ]
Ziguinchor| SENEGAL
The learning course is a journey into knowledge and life. Starting from the natural resources of the place, the children that will attend the new school will be able to experiment a new environment in which nature and lectures meet, allowing a positive impact into their physical and mental growth. Casamance river accompanies them along the path, literally crossing the project: from the welcoming area, through the classrooms, until the dining room and the cultivation gardens, with a constant presence that highlights a new way of learning into a better future. The volumes are distributed along this new canal following the original topographic levels, revealing local materials and constructive techniques typical of Senegalese traditions, with the primary intention to always make the children feel at home, restoring their cultural identity and sense of belonging.
