THE VISION


this is the hole vision for St. Rupperts Secondary School
the new schoolbuilding
houses for teachers
sanitary houses
a workshop
a basketballfield


by now just one house for a teachers is completed
we will proceed







in addition to the three classroom buildings (white), we designed a complex (brown) including a libary, two more classrooms, a staffroom and a computer room.
the functions are aerated with shady verandas
the idea is to embrace the established buildings, thereby we create two courtyards and have a large shady portico for any kind of actions like theatre, dancing and workgroups
our architecture wants to strengthen the schools identity, to support the confidence of its exraordinary and admirable students



MARCH/APRIL 2007

so happy to be in action



one of our cieling experiments:
these are reetmats filled with clay and grass. we want to provide a cieling that shields the house from the heat of the tin roof

hey this is the foundation of house A, designed by Muck and me! It has a round semiclimatic living room with a fireplace in the middle! We had to leave before it was finished, so we will go back to see it in september to see its shapes

thats house B on the day we left---nearly finished in six weeks with that wonderful team down there:

dream team

thinking of africa
