African Urban School competition: A new center for Enko Education
· introduction ·
· challenge ·
Enko will be building a new Primary and Secondary school for 550 students in Bamako and this contest will look for designs for it. We are seeking for a project that can become Enko’s distinctive image. An architectural concept that can be used not only in this project, but also in their future developments across Africa.
The plot has an approximate area of 1.670 m2 and is located in the heart of Bamako, between residential buildings. The school area will be divided between a Primary School, a Secondary School, the administrative space and the common spaces. All the specific information can be found in the briefing of the competition.
The main challenges of this contest are (1) to look for a building that represent Enko’s values (care, pathmaking, commitment and team spirit), (2) are realistic and respectful with the materials and construction techniques of the area, (3) prioritize the safety of people, (4) are environmentally conscious and (5) can adapt to the future growth of the schools. The winning proposal of the competition will be built.
