Wendy and I started the project talking about our goals, finally coming to a resolution: we decided to keep the buildings that they have and cherish so much, because they very important to them. Therefor our basic concept is rooted in simplicity and do-ability. We have committed ourselves to keeping the existing building's structure and simply adding onto it. The goal is to give them a framework which can then be infilled with any number of materials left up to the school's and village's discretion - hopefully giving them even further investment in the school buildings.
We've had a great time working together. Wendy invited me to stay over her house and meet her family. It has been a really nice experience to work with a partner and identify someone else's design strengths. We share a lot of similar design ideals - which makes the designing a lot easier. But it's our differences that make the project exciting. We're continuing to develop the design further, but very much looking forward to seeing the final product soon! --- niloo
