HONOURABLE MENTION - ARCHSTORMING

FLEXIBILITY BUILDING RESPONSES TO CHANGING NEEDS. SOMETIMES STUDENTS CAPACITY INCREASES, SOMETIMES IT CAN DECREASES. THE STRUCTURE ALSO BEHAVES UP TO THIS CAPACITY. THE LOCATION OF THE CLASSES ARE DESIGNED WITH PART-WALL SYSTEMS THAT ALLOW THEM TO JOIN WITH EACH OTHER. IN THIS WAY, IT CAN BE SEPARATED INTO SMALL GROUPS AND ALSO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LARGE GROUP ACTIVITIES.

CAPACITY ACCORDING TO THE BRIEF, STUDENT CAPACITY MAY VARY OVER TIME. THEREFORE THE BUILDING NEEDS BOTH GROWTH ABILITY AND A COMPACT CLOSED AREA SYSTEMATICS. THIS CAPACITY VARIATION CAN BE ADJUSTED WITH FLOOR AND WALL SYSTEMS INTEGRATED TO THE PREFABRICATED STRUCTURE SYSTEM FIRST ESTABLISHED DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

MODULARITY THE MODULAR SYSTEM PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY AND EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES TO THE STRUCTURE. THE STRUCTURE SYSTEM PRODUCED PREFABRICATED IS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RATIONAL PLANNING APPROACH OF THE SCHOOL PROGRAMME. THROUGH THIS, THE NUMBER OF CLASSES CAN EASILY DECREASED OR INCREASE.

EXPANSION BECAUSE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING SYSTEM, WHICH IS MODULARLY DESIGNED AND HAS A FLEXIBLE CLASS STRUCTURE, THE SCHOOL BUILDING CAN BE EXPANDED BY ADDING OPEN, SEMI-OPEN OR INDOOR SPACES.

EASY CONSTRUCTION AFTER CONSTRUCTION OF THE OUTER FRAME OF THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTED WITH THE PREFABRICATED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEARING SYSTEM AND PERMITTED BY THE LOCAL CONDITIONS, IT CAN BE DESIGNED WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OR AFTER CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL PROGRAM.

STRONG IDENTITY IDENTITY IN EDUCATION MUST BE ESTABLISHED TOGETHER WITH STRONG STRATEGIC PLANNING. THE PROPOSED NEW AFRICAN URBAN SCHOOL SYSTEM SHOWS A SIMILAR CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM AND FLEXIBLE/MODULAR STRUCTURE IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND GEOGRAPHIES. THIS OUTER FRAME CREATES A STRONG FEELING OF BELONGINGS, WHILE ITS RATIONAL FRAMEWORK HELPS IN ADJUSTING CAPACITY AND CLASS LEVELS.

SUSTAINABILITY LOCAL MATERIAL AND RECYCLED PART-WALL SYSTEMS (WOOD AND STEEL) ENSURE THE BUILDING IS CHEAP AND EASY TO BUILD. 4 DIFFERENT MODULES ON THE FACADE ARE USED FOR SOMETIMES LIGHT, SOMETIMES AIR OR VISTA. THE INNER COURT CREATES ITS OWN MICROCLIMATE IN HOT CLIMATE CONDITIONS AND PROVIDES A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR USERS IN HOT DAYS WITH MORE SHADOW AREAS.
