A COMMUNITY SCHOOL IN MINYA
Location:Al-Sheikh Hassan, Matay, El-Minya, Egypt.
Project typology: Under construction/ Conceptual: Institutional (community school).
Project Year: 2019.
Site area: 2000 sqm.
Al-Sheikh Hasan is a community school serving nine small villages of Ezbet El-Shaikh Hasan local village unit in Matai, Minya Governorate, where the students need to walk every day 10 km to go to the school and back home again. The purpose of the building is to evoke this long and arduous trip of children between the agricultural fields and transform it into a journey between active, dynamic, and educational spaces. The structure is translated by creating many paths around the building units. It provides a spatial experience for the kids by creating in-between spaces that allow them to through a learning experience journey depending on “unknowing then knowing”. edit.
