Resumo(s)
A área rural do Senegal, é caracterizada pela sua pobreza, e falta de
recursos, como de saúde, alimentares, e de educação, deve-se na maioria
ao seu contexto, histórico, geográfico, cultural, meteorológico, social e
económico.
Existem vários desafios para alcançar a educação em África e o Senegal
não é exceção. Como resposta a esta situação, a solução apresentada
é uma escola que se adapte às áreas rurais do Senegal de norte a sul
do país. Uma escola que utilize maioritariamente a matéria-prima,
a mão de obra e o conhecimento local, reduzindo os seus custos e
sendo facilmente construída pela comunidade. Pretende-se que seja
autossustentável ou próximo disso, e que convide os alunos a estimá-la
e a usufruírem de tudo o que a escola tenha para oferecer.
Foram então escolhidas três aldeias: no norte, centro e sul do país,
para adaptar a escola a esses locais. Visto que as aldeias têm dimensões
diferentes, adaptou-se o tamanho da escola à aldeia, criando assim os
tamanhos S, M e L. Sendo que a escola S pode ser um L, ou maior, assim
como as outras, dependendo das suas necessidades. Para uma melhor
conceção da escola foram criadas algumas regras, que todas elas devem
respeitar.
Para superar alguns desafios que as comunidades rurais enfrentam
criam-se cisternas na escola para um melhor aproveitamento da água da
chuva, e cria-se também um depósito. Com a água recolhida é possível
regar os pomares e hortas criadas, para a utilização da escola e dos seus
alunos e professores. No seguimento de melhorar a qualidade de vida
dos alunos que estão na escola, criam-se também vários espaços de
sombra no terreno, são estes os espaços de transição que nos permitem
estar na rua e protegem-nos das chuvas fortes e também do sol.
Espera-se então com esta escola melhorar a qualidade de vida de quem
dela usufrui, e por isso da população rural do Senegal, para além de lhes
dar um espaço de acesso à educação, promovendo um espaço em que
podem comer, brincar e fortalecer as comunidades rurais.
The rural area of Senegal is characterized by its poverty and lack of resources, such as healthcare, nutritious food, and education, among others. This is largely due to its historical, geographical, cultural, meteorological, social, and economic context. There are several challenges to achieving education in Africa, and Senegal is no exception. In response to this situation, the proposed solution is a school that adapts to the rural areas of Senegal from north to south. A school that primarily uses local raw materials, labor, and knowledge, reducing costs and easily built by the community. It should be self-sustainable or close to it, and encourage students to take care of it and benefit from everything the school has to offer. Three villages in the north, center, and south of the country were chosen for the school to be adapted. Since the villages have different sizes, the size of the school was adjusted to the village, creating sizes S, M, and L. The S school can potentially become an L or larger, depending on their needs. Some rules were created for the better design of the school, and all of them must adhere to these rules. To overcome some challenges that rural communities face, cisterns are created in the school for better use of rainwater, and a reservoir is also established. With the collected water, it is possible to irrigate orchards and gardens for the school’s use and for its students and teachers. To improve the quality of life while students are at school, various shaded areas are created on the premises. These transitional spaces allow people to be outdoors and protected from heavy rains and the sun. It is hoped that this school will improve the quality of life for those who benefit from it and, therefore, the rural population of Senegal. In addition to providing access to education, it creates a space where people can eat, play, and strengthen rural communities
