PLACE OF LEARNING BEKOUROU PRIMARY SCHOOL Senior Thesis Megan Snyder Professor Sandy Stannard Fall 2014
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -Nelson Mandela
FORWARD LETTER TO THE SPONSORS Dear Future Project Sponsors, In the Békourou Village in southern Chad, there is a group of students with the opportunity to go to school, but they lack a sufficient learning space. Currently, the students are learning under temporary shade structures. In this hot country, these shade structures do not properly protect the students from the elements so that they feel comfortable in their learning environment. Along with Partners International, I want to provide a learning environment for these children that supports their ability and desire to learn. This book provides a general overview on the project’s site, program, and schematic design. With your help, this project can become a reality and can help these children have a better learning environment. Thank you for your support. Sincerely,
Megan Snyder

“Without education, development is a dream.� -Diebedo Francis Kere, architect
FORWARD LETTER FROM THE DESIGNER Helping others through design is my passion. Since I began my studies of architecture, I have been searching for ways to improve the lives of people with the knowledge I have gained. Being able to do this for my thesis is a blessing. By creating a building that has a positive influence on its user, I hope to improve the lives of others and bring inspiration. I see architecture as so much more than a pretty building. It is a place to learn, grow, work, live, and make memories. As a designer, I need to understand how a space can effect the user. I continue to strive to both help people through design and create a positive spatial relationship.

PROJECT TEAM JOURNEYMAN INTERNATIONAL Journeyman International (JI) is a non-profit group committed to helping international NGO’s design and construct sustainable humanitarian facilities. JI provides architecture services by partnering 5th year architecture students with international non-government organizations (NGOs) in need of sustainable design. By implementing appropriate sustainable design, impoverished communities will be equipped with systems that take advantage of the natural environment to create a better standard of living. Through the support of sponsorships and fund raising, they have facilitated numerous designs since 2010, including: a medical clinic in Ethiopia, orphanages in Mexico and Haiti, a school in Ghana, an orphanage in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro, a library in Rwanda, and a clinic for the Maasi Tribe in Tanzania. (For more information, please visit: www.journeymaninternational.org)

Chad is the largest land-locked country in Africa. It is 1.28 million square kilometers, slightly more than 3 times the size of California. It borders Sudan, Libya, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. The total population is 11,412,107 people with most of that population living in the southern part of the country. There are many ethnicities and languages throughout the country which has caused much of the unrest in the past. 1

HOT SEMI-ARID
Chad is the largest of Africa’s 16 landlocked countries. This area includes three different climate zones. The largest of the three is the hot desert in the north. In the middle is the hot semi-arid zone and then the tropical savanna is in the south. This means most people live in the two southern zones because they can use the land to farm. Chad is rich in wildlife with many big mammals, such as giraffes and elephants, as well as over 40 species of fish. In recent years, the numbers of wildlife and plant life have decreased because of desertification, hunting, and competition with domestic livestock. 3

The main drivers for the Chadian economy is oil and agriculture. Around 80% of the population depends on subsistence farming and livestock. While oil is the top export, cotton, cattle, and gum arabic are the next highest grossing goods. Other resources found in Chad include soap, natron, and uranium. 1 In 2013, the GDP per capita was $2,500 (the U.S. was $52,800). In 2003 83% of the population was living below $2 per day. 4

Mandoul is a region in Southern Chad that borders the Central African Republic. Its capital is Kourma This region is home to around 637,000 people5. Most of the population live in rural villages with only two more urban areas, Kourma and Moïssala. The city of Békourou is 20 kilometers south-west of Moïssala. Like the rest of the country, many in this region are subsistence farmers. The transportation in this region is mostly dirt roads with paved roads only running through the north and capital. The closest airport is in Sarh and other public transportation is scarce. Many get around by walking.

BEKOUROU GENERAL FACTS APPROX. SITE MAIN ROAD
Bekourou is home to around 52,000 people and is about 4,000 square kilometers. The town is relatively flat and contains a large amount of agricultural land. Around 85% of the people in the village are farmers. They mainly produce crops such as cereals, soap, and sugars, but there are also some stock breeders. The main ethnicity in the region is Mbaï followed by Sara and Gambi. They typically speak Mbaï, but Chadian Arabic and French are heard as well. Many of the villagers practice Christian beliefs such as Catholic and Evangelist. Some also follow the traditional religion (such as Sun worshiping) and Muslim.
General • Megan Snyder
29
BEKOUROU CULTURE LIFE In Bekourou, the Mbaï are the most prominent ethnicity. They are a people that value the community as a whole rather than an individual. 6
FOOD/AGRICULTURE Many of the Mbaï are farmers. It is the men who usually work the fields, but women help with the harvest. Most grow only enough for their own use. Some grow cotton for selling. The staples for the Mbaï are millet, beans, peanuts, ground nuts, corn, squash, yams, and manioc. The most common dish is boule, a millet-based dumpling that is typical served with sauces (as shown to the left). Some fish and hunt, but it is rare. Some also raise domestic animals. 6
COMMUNITY LAYOUT DIAGRAM COMMUNITY
VERNACULAR The Mbaï live in concentrated settlements which are surrounded by a tall grass fence. Within this are smaller family compounds with a small round houses made of mud bricks. There are usually no windows and only one door. The roof is typically thatch. The family compound includes a house for the husband at the entry, a house for each wife, a house for the children, some storage, cooking, and cleaning areas. 6

The Bekourou Village is located within the tropical savanna climate zone. This means that the average temperature throughout the year is, on average, hotter than the comfort zone. It also means that there is relatively a small amount of precipitation with most months having less than 60 millimeters of rain. The wind is typically from the south and rarely is stronger than 15 miles per hour.
ENERGY, WATER, WASTE The site has no electricity or water treatment. It has the potential to have a well drilled on the site, but that is yet to happen. Waste is not properly disposed of and is most likely burned.

UMUBANO SCHOOL SECTIONAL SPACE MAKING LOCATION: Kigali, Rwanda ARCHITECT: MASS Design Group DATE COMPLETED: 2010 AREA: 900 Square Meters The UK charity named A Partner in Education brought MASS Design in on a project to rebuild a school for children who were learning in rundown facilities. MASS used a mix of indoor and outdoor learning areas on a terraced site to encourage learning in multiple environments. They used natural ventilation and daylighting strategies to reduce need for electricity. The use of a white-washed wall opposite of the windows helped to bounce light throughout the room. They created 9 classrooms, a computer lab, kitchen, and administration offices. 10

Hellerup School has an open floor plan which allows for exploratory learning. There are many different places for students to learn on their own. Arkitema challenged the school program to change to a more open learning environment which encourages students to find their own learning space. 11 The diagrams to the left came were from my independent research project which was comparing qualities of learning environments. This space was a classroom space that the teacher created by enclosing the space only slightly with movable walls and some furniture. The classroom is extremely flexible and could be moved to other areas which makes the school very dynamic. The flexibility and range of spaces gave many options for kids to learn and even during free study time they were focused.

That roof in combination with the louvered windows allows for maximum ventilation. This school has three classrooms that can fit up to 50 students each and have a breezeway in between each to further increase the ventilation. 12

PROJECT STATEMENT A PLACE OF LEARNING PROBLEM
CONCEPT
Imagine a typical school setting. Most Americans would picture a rectangular classroom with rows of desks and a teacher in front. In other countries, this image can be very different. In the Bekourou Village in Chad, students picture sitting under the trees or a makeshift stick shelter. This natural setting may have some learning benefits, but these students still deserve a facility that provides more enclosure so the students can feel safe, be protected from the elements, and have their own space.
All children deserve to have a place to learn and be protected from the elements. They deserve a place that not only protects but also fosters learning. For these students in Bekourou, they have the access to teachers who are doing the best with what they have. Yet, the children need a more sheltered space to learn in. They need a place to put books, for the teacher to present, and for the students to feel ownership. The students and teachers need to have their own spaces in which they can feel safe and can learn freely. They need 4 classrooms for both primary education and evening literacy classes. It should also be able to provide for community gatherings. The school also hopes to add a water well, sports fields, a teacher room, a director room, and a home for the director. These students deserve an environment that encourages exploration and creates a safe haven for them to grow and be inspired.

With their limited budget, they are looking for the classrooms, teachers’ room, and director’s office to be built in the first phase. I will be designing all phases, but will focus most on the main building. They hope to dig a well for the site, but as of now they have no utilities on site.

CONSTRAINTS MATERIALS / BUILDING TECHNIQUES
THATCH
The locally available materials are brick, concrete, thatch, and corrugated metal. Rammed earth, cob, and straw bale may be other materials to consider. Materials will be a huge factor in the design process as their limits will inform the form.
BUILDING TECHNIQUES BRICK
Much of the building culture in Southern Chad is based off of the materials at hand. Clay/mud is a main element in their buildings. They can make a brick or a cob-like structure. Many of the traditional buildings are rounded with a pitched roof. More metal and concrete are making it into this region, but it is scarce. There is also a theme of thatch and weaved grasses for roofs and separation.

VELLUM For vellum, I wanted to develop a portable desk/backpack which I now call the Desk Pack. I wanted students to have a desk both at school and at home. Being able to carry your school supplies was a big goal as well. I developed this idea because I know many students don’t have a desk or backpack and this was a solution to that problem. I also wanted to have a desk that students were able to move around to a learning environment that best suited them. The design on the back could also be customized for the child, but the radial shape was inspired by the Sara people I am designing the school for, who worship the sun. The sun can also represent enlightenment.

PROCESS DESIGN CHARETTE DIRECTING EXPLORATION
For sun, wind, and light, the goal was to study ways to lighten a space without it overheating. The round form would allow light to bounce evenly around the space. The raised roof would create a stack effect and also let daylight in. For connectivity, the goal was a range of visual connections. The classrooms would all look into each other and would have a filtered view to nature. For place making, the section is looking at creating a few different spatial qualities to allow the user to chose a place. For bio-inspired, the millet plant was the inspiration. It grows in clusters with small seeds. This inspired a range of intimate spaces or creating a cluster with the program. For directing exploration, there were a few quick explorations on how building arrangement can create a flow and direct a range of paths.
