The combination of Ghanaian traditional

architecture and some contemporary techniques and theenvironmental

sustainability was the first goal of the design procedure.
The form of the building, inspired from Asante traditional architecture,
allows the maximum ventilation and the segmentation of the classroom.
Creating a big and brighter room. While the bamboo partitions can be
folded away for more space.
Another element of inspiration from the culture of Ghana is the Asante
symbol that is being used to create a motif that will be used decorating
the walls and windows.The earth, the motif and the local building
techniques will give us the uniqueness that this classroom needs.
All the materials needed for the construction will be purchased locally.
We will be using earth, bamboo and plastic/glass bottles for the
construction of the classrooms. It is a low cost solution and provide with
a simple construction technique. Due to the bad economy and the
necessary reduction of raw materials in the area, abottle-
brick technique was chosen for the construction of the classrooms. This
technique combines the materials mentioned earlier and can provide a
strong structure. Plus you dont have to wait for it to dry it is a fast
hands-on technique and very simple to learn.
