Malawi School - Architecture for a Change. Chimpamba Village, Mchinji, Malawi.

Refurbished shipping containers were used as structurally sound elements with a dual function as a transportable element, and as a shell and anchor for a new building structure. By utilising locally manufactured materials, it provided the community with a sense of ownership and softened the container as a foreign contextual element. The school building doubles as a community space for gatherings and events that generate revenue, allowing the school to sustain itself economically.
