Secondary School project Type: Competition Year: 2022 Location: Kafountine, Senegal Software used: Revit I Sketchup I Photoshop I Illustrator This design arose with the concern of local conflicts that proliferates throughout the region. The ques- tion “Can a school bridge a community to diminish future conflicts?” was the main driver and the start- ing point of our design. To be a bridge, one building needs to be taken care of and used by the local community. However, for a building to be used, tak- en care of, and sustain itself in the process, the peo- ple have to have a sense of belonging to the said building. Inspired by the process of Gilles Clement, a French gardener, we aim to involve the local com- munity in every phase, in every aspect of the con- struction process which therefore develops a sense of belonging. Thus, by doing so, every communal function of the design will be fully utilized by not only students but also the community.
