· introduction ·
Archstorming's new competition takes us to Bamako, Mali. We will be looking for designs to build a new school in an urban context for Enko Education, a fast-growing network of African international schools that offers affordable quality education in order to provide access for young Africans to the best universities worldwide.
Enko has a total of 15 schools and aims to open 45 more in at least 20 African countries over the next five years. In order to do so, they are looking for an innovative architectural design that will be used in their expansion across the continent, solving their school infrastructure challenges.
This contest will be focused on their next school, that will be located in Bamako, the capital of Mali, a landlocked country of western Africa. The city has a population of 2.6 million but it is projected to surpass 13 million by 2050, which means that a good network of urban schools will be needed by then.
