INSPIRELI Kashitu architectural competition calls for innovative student designs of the buildings in the Kashitu Secondary School Campus which would push both architectural and technical boundaries of the current design of a typical Zambian school

This is a unique project of „Design and Build“ where the students get the chance to build the school with their own hands.

The announcer of the competition is the Czech Technical University in Prague with the support of Architects Without Borders.

Competition subject

The subject of the architectural competition is the design of secondary school campus buildings in Kashitu, Zambia.

In rural Zambia, students leaving primary schools have limited opportunities to continue their education at secondary school. Kashitu is a large area located on the border of Central and Copperbelt Province with a population of 18, 000 people. However, there is no secondary school within a 40 km radius. Meanwhile, there are more than eight primary schools in Kashitu, where over 1,000 students graduate annually without further
educational opportunities.

To address this issue, the Zambian non-governmental organization (NGO) New Renato Community Society initiated the Kashitu Secondary School project in partnership with Czech NGO Přátelé New Renato (Friends of New Renato) and a student group at the Czech Technical University in Prague.

The subject of this competition is to design the remaining school buildings in harmony with local customs, climate, and building education and construction regulations. A site layout study may be included but is not mandatory.

Type of the competition, conditions to participate Architectural, student, non-anonymous, open to all students from around the world without restrictions.

PRIZES AND REWARDS
