Green School

Paarl, South Africa

"From the outset the challenge was to create a campus that is part of this global community but that is defined by its context, climate and heritage. In Bali, the beautiful and intricate bamboo structures without walls make sense in terms of material, climate, and local building methodologies. In Paarl, where the summers are very hot and dry, and the winters wet and cold, the building envelope becomes an essential device to passively control the building climate." - Extract taken from article
