Two buildings accommodate a craft training center and a care center for disabled children. Arranged on a concrete slab, the boxes are built in rammed earth: this old construction technique is low-cost and reproducible by local workers, with excellent insulation properties. The whole building is wrapped by a metallic structure, like a mesh that folds on itself and supports the sheet roof, whose inclination is designed to facilitate natural ventilation. External shading bamboo and coloured curtains provide filtered light to the perimeter circulation spaces and mark the entrances.
