Demountable Schools for Earthquake Stricken Regions
Izmit, Türkiye

A system of portable, multi-purpose buildings constructed in disaster zones. Six schools were erected in 55 days, accommodating 2'000 students. Laminated wood panels and a glulam frame mounted by an aluminium, pitched roof facilitate assembly and standardisation. The design is a long shed with a central corridor along which are situated the classrooms.
