В Сенегале лишь половина детей школьного возраста имеет доступ к образованию, причем классы в школах часто переполнены – в них занимаются до 80 учеников. Задача конкурсантов – спроектировать экологичную, простую и недорогую в строительстве школу для сенегальского города Марсасум. Здесь будет семь классных комнат, библиотека, административные и другие помещения. Лучший проект планируется реализовать.

Archstorming’s new competition takes us to Senegal (Africa), a country with regions where only 50% of school-age children have access to education and where classrooms are often crammed with up to 80 students per class due to the limited number of structures.
In this project we will be collaborating with the NGO Let's Build My School (LBMS), a UK registered charity which was founded in 2016 to build schools in developing countries with a particular focus on remote areas which lack educational facilities.
Beyond delivering structures built using locally sourced, sustainable, recycled materials, LBMS researches and applies construction techniques which do not require any prior technical skills in construction so that the local community may be able to replicate the process and help to further develop their village long after LBMS has left. Applying those principles will be the challenge for our next competition, where the winning proposal will be built.
Archstorming is calling for proposals to design an elementary school in Marsassoum, Senegal.
The school is currently constructed of bamboo walls and zinc roofs and it is in very bad conditions. The classrooms rarely survive the rainy season and that results in the cancellation of classes and students failing their academic year.
In this competition we will research innovative and low-cost construction techniques in order to replace this temporary school with built structures. One of the most important aspects of this competition is to inspire people so they can build their own houses using the same technique once the construction of the school has finished.
The new school will need 7 classrooms, a library, two offices, and latrines. In addition, each contestant can optionally include a canteen, an orchard and a small corral in the facility. See more detailed information in the briefing of the competition.
