This project envisions a secondary school located in rural Africa, designed as a layered and self-sustaining environment that supports both education and everyday life. The concept reflects a spatial and symbolic journey — from the safety of enclosed spaces to the openness of community, nature, and future opportunities. Architecture becomes a quiet framework for growth, balancing routine with exploration. The layout of the school is inspired by the logic of a small town. At its heart lies a central courtyard — a gathering space for students and teachers. This is surrounded by dormitory, which creates a sense of enclosure, protection, and belonging. The outermost layer consists of classrooms and shared facilities, forming a clear and gradual spatial progression from private to public, from calm to vibrant — echoing the rhythm of a school day. The project is structured on a repetitive 9x9 meter modular grid, which corresponds to the standard size of a classroom. This repetition gives the design clarity, rhythm, and construction efficiency, while also representing the regularity of daily life and learning. At the same time, the repetition is softened through variation in program and atmosphere, allowing for diversity within order. The primary construction material is locally made, cement-stabilized earth bricks. These blocks are perforated, allowing for reinforcement and promoting natural ventilation and lighting. Passive strategies such as high ceilings, shaded walkways, and perforated facades reduce the need for mechanical systems and help maintain comfort in a hot climate. Rainwater is collected from rooftops and stored in underground tanks, while greywater is cleaned through artificial wetlands and reused for irrigation, creating a sustainable cycle of water. The space beneath the dormitories is left open to create shaded, breezy areas for rest, informal gatherings, and study. Insect protection is ensured with integrated mesh screens in key spaces, contributing to health and well-being. Together, these strategies create an environment that is simple yet responsive and humble. This school is more than a collection of buildings — it is a place of rhythm, community, and transformation. A place where the repetition of daily life supports stability, where spatial gradation reflects personal growth, and where architecture opens the path from walls… to horizons.
