A quiet time of the year means more opportunities to indulge in exploring ideas in interesting competitions. Here’s one we worked on recently - a preschool for special needs children in Mozambique where vernacular forms and sustainable materials are considered. We dwelled on the idea of a school that is designed like a house and the possibilities of contemporary space for child development using natural local materials like earth blocks, bamboo, timber and thatch.

With walls like stained glass, this pavilion is animated by changing light emitting through colourful translucent panels inserted into bamboo rings.
