Dear Yongjun Lan,
Your project for the Kashrut school in Zambia is an impressive initiative to support local education and development. The thoughtful division of the site into teaching, sports, and living zones ensures a balanced and functional environment for the students. I also commend the use of local materials like ICEB to reduce costs while maintaining structural integrity.
As an experienced architect, I would suggest considering the integration of sustainable energy solutions, such as solar panels, to reduce the school's reliance on external energy sources. Additionally, creating shaded outdoor areas for students to gather and study could contribute to their well-being, especially in a warm climate. It may also be beneficial to explore rainwater harvesting systems to ensure the school has a reliable water supply throughout the year.
Best of luck with your education and future career!
