The first phase of an inspirational new school project in Jar Maulwi, Pakistan has now been completed and local craftsmen have begun work on an extension volume. Designed by German architects Ziegert Roswag Seiler Architekten Ingenieure in collaboration with local architects Ghayyoor Syed Obaid, this earth and bamboo school offers a sustainable new teaching volume for the local community while providing local craftsmen with new skills to advance their job opportunities.
The architects have drawn directly from their wealth of experience in sustainable school design and use of natural materials, having been awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture for a ‘handmade’ school in Bangladesh, designed eleven village schools with the Aga Khan Foundation in Mozambique, and conceptualising a cultural centre in Ghana.
