Architects: NLE (Kunlé Adeyemi)
The school that Adeyemi designed was designed with the thought that much of the architecture in Nigeria is not permanent due to unpredictable rises of water level due to flooding. This half boat, half house prototype will help educate the people in the surrounding area. But the uses can extend farther than just a school, it could be a market, event space, or clinic that can hold 100 adults with no problem. The structure makes use of local materials, namely wooden off-cuts from a local sawmill and locally grown bamboo.
