This high school in Djilakh is more than an educational complex. It is a flexible community hub without rigid boundaries. Seven buildings surround a central plaza with a stage and vocational zones open to all residents. Each building features adobe walls, a 7x9m interior, and a shaded porch with the Guna Vault: interlocking terracotta cones forming a barrel vault that reduces interior temperature by 10°C. Local materials ensure sustainability, low maintenance, and a lifespan of over fifty years.
