CEPP, an NGO of Nepal, asked us, Belgian interior-architecture students , to design an ideal school for them. The aim was to design a school with a particular set of qualities: sustainability, with social engagement and local appropriation, as an inclusive process and with traditional knowledge,...
This design is created based on 5 needs. It will be built up in 5 layers and exists out of 6 different types of classrooms. The classrooms will have different functions and can be used by the school and by the community. The emphasis the pedagogy of the school is on the students and the community that is strongly involved. The school will become a place where students can not only learn, but also adults can come for information and to learn from each other. Everything is made with local materials and reuse of things already present in the school.
