Boumerdes School
Boumerdes, Algeria

This secondary school campus for students aged 11-15 is arranged in three blocks: instruction, administration, and employee housing. Varying from one to three storeys, all the structures are designed based on a low-cost and low-tech approach espoused by the architect: orientation for solar gain and for natural ventilation, as well as the planting of vegetation to create a micro-climate. Teachers and administrators have indicated satisfaction with the ambiance and comfort levels produced by the design. Security is a major issue, addressed in the entrance to the campus as well as to the individual classrooms.
