This Temporary School In Nairobi Was Designed As A "Small Village" Using Reusable Materials - Yanko Design

Urko Sánchez Architects has designed a collection of innovative classrooms for Nairobi Waldorf School, nestled in a forested area of Nairobi, Kenya. These classrooms, organized as a small village, are built using cost-effective, recycled materials that encourage sustainability. The design prioritizes minimal environmental impact through the use of local resources like wood and soil, promoting community involvement among children, parents, and teachers during construction. The goal is to create a harmonious learning environment that fosters a connection with nature while ensuring the adaptability and longevity of the educational facilities.

"The main concept was to create a village for children hidden in the forest, fostering a strong connection with nature."

"Classrooms were dispersed in forest clearings to preserve native trees and avoid disruption."
