Located in the northeast of the country, more than 1000 km of 

Niamey, Fachi in the Agadez Region consists of 2,000 inhabitants 

and doesn’t have any school.

 T.S. School is a proposal to contribute to local development with 

the aim to create educational facility, but multifunctional building 

such as community places or meeting. With environmental, social 

and sustainable approach, the project is inspired by traditional 

African architecture: the Case of Africa. Free, curved form, allows 

integration school into desert environment. Local materials such as 

straw, clay, earth, and wood are mainly used. School’s thermal 

comfort is procured by creating the freshness in this environment. 

 The principle of Musgum Case (northern Cameroon) to create a 

natural temperature difference with a voluntary exchange of heat 

between hot air and cold air inside the Structure was applied. 

Wooden bearing structure and light polycarbonate filter help to 

diffuse natural light, retain rain water and dust particles. Straw 

envelope above the polycarbonate is used to filter the sunlight; it is 

solar screen. Clay is principally used. The project will create a space 

for reflection, sharing and exchange. Children interact with the area 

whether it’s; studying, running, walking, leaning or sitting, playing… 

helping to inspire.
