Project Details
A school for art, design and making organised as a shaded campus of workshops, gardens and covered streets.
The project prioritises climate, adaptability and collective life. Workshops are naturally ventilated and gathered beneath broad roofs that collect rainwater and generate solar power. Compressed earth blocks, timber screens and terrazzo made from local aggregate form a robust, repairable material system.
