SHORT DESCRIPTION

This project concerned the rehabilitation of three buildings and the playground of the Abu Hindi's school. The main strategy used for the buildings was a Pisè wall, constructed inside the existing metal sheet, and a bamboo layer outside, so to create a ventilated camera that protects from overheating. The space between the building was thought to cut the amount of dust and sand that used to affect the playground. The materials used for this spaces were beaten earth, bricks and dry stone walls. The existing difference in high became an occasion to create game facilities for the children.
