The Morogoro International School, located in the southern highlands of Tanzania, serves as a model for sustainability and modular architecture for society. With the idea of having the school simultaneously serve as a community hub, Alma-nac architects believed they could achieve this best through their repeating linear form with an emphasis on environmental control strategies. More images and architects’ description after the break.

Designed to extend in multiple phased sections, this 100 bed dormitory passively controls its environment utilizing only local construction methods and materials. In keeping with the MIS mentality of the school as a community hub, we aimed to develop a sustainable architecture that wouldn’t require expensive equipment or active components. In this way, the scheme provides an example of a form-led sustainable architecture that can serve as a model of construction for the local region.
