Kaira Looro 建筑竞赛

Kaira Looro Architecture Competition II Awarded as one of top 50 projects

In a place dominated by simple rural life, where architecture is closer to the land and simple dwellings that arose from the origin of nature, a house for children is born, a house of hope and life, and in the middle of it there is the beating green heart, a courtyard that achieves the idea of self-sufficiency, where agriculture is carried out to produce food crops. Where children and their mothers participate in agriculture to eliminate the problem they face along with other aids, and the establishment of dialogue with nature is not only achieved through the yard, but there is a free void overlooking the green nature of Baghere and interspersed with the distinctive fabrics of Senegal as an expression of identity and that Bagere's identity is linked to its relationship with nature and that Crisis therapy comes from the heart of Baghere's nature, a place that brings together children and mothers and strengthens communication between them. The organic lines form an orientation inward and an interactive dynamic range that emphasizes that the Children's Home is a warm and welcoming place. The spaces are designed in a flexible and open way, which increases the dynamism of the spaces and provides the opportunity to integrate the interior spaces with the exterior nature, and allows the spaces to be expanded and adapted to different activities. Integrating light, green spaces and water through the design of the square fountain are the common elements in African homes to emphasize the containment and warmth found in their homes. The light infiltrates through openings in the ceiling to allow in the gentle rays of the sun to instill a sense of hope and optimism in children. The roof tendencies help in collecting rain and directing it to irrigate the yard and the green heart of the project.
