This is such a meaningful project by finish architects Rudanko+Kankkunen. The school was constructed with hand-dried blocks of local soil and built by the local community.

Using materials found closeby and having the locals building the school as a design process makes this project close to the heart and it gives it more soul.
I love the colours of the window shutters, they are vibrant and contrasting to the terracotta coloured bricks.

It would've been nice to have added the surrounding lot to the design aswell. For this sort of project I would imagine having a workshop with the children and planting perhaps fruit trees and other edible crops to the school yard.
