Architecture studio Urko sánchez architects Made a series of classes for School In NairobiKenya, which is wrapped in wooden logs, to mix in their forest environment.
Located in clearing within the forest, development by development Urko sánchez architects The existing Nairobi Waldorf includes a series of temporary classes designed as “small villages” for the school.
“The main concept was to build a village for children hidden in the jungle, promoting a strong relationship with nature,” the studio told Dezen.
“The project preferred cost -effective and reusable materials like wood, soil and forest leaves to reduce environmental effects,” said this. “Classes were spread in one clearing to preserve native trees and avoid disruption.”
In a 3,1620-class-meter project, the top is the top with overhenge of parquet in several classes, which is informed by the renovative architecture of the region.
One of them is the existing, elevated structure, which is re -presented to accommodate additional classes and services, supported by a structure of long logs.
Urko Sánchez architects designed structures for a 10 -year lifetime due to lease on the site. This inspired it to use light, cost -effective and recreated materials, which can be rebuilt in the future.
This included the use of wooden logs of different heights, wrapped around the base of each orbit, and the roof tiles were rectified, which were re -presented and to make the path around the site. Was used.
Polycarbonate sheets surround some teaching places, which make transparent walls that also help in drawing light into their interiors.
To offer both a natural aesthetics and promote biodiversity on the site, parts of polycarbonate walls are filled with layers of soil and forest leaves that serve as “living walls”.
The studio said, “Design addressed a temporary 10-year lease by giving priority to cost-effective and quick construction methods.”
“The recycled material was creatively renovated, emphasizing stability and cooperation,” it said. “Children, parents and teachers participated in the process of filling the soil, promoting the spirit of the community.”
To provide access to the interiors, shelter corridors around the classrooms, which offer children well -light workpieces, ending with soil tones for the use of natural materials.
