In Senegal, shade and water are everything. This project, aims to respond to this context as a perfect machine, beautiful in its efficiency and without an engine. We developed the project from its cross-section, providing the building with a large double roof and a great lattice on the south façade, an L-shaped shield laying on its back, which avoids direct solar radiation but is permeable to air. This shield creates a Venturi effect generating a constant air flow between the building envelope and the lecture rooms, reducing the interior temperature by 10-15 ºC degrees. Photo: Francesco Pinto
