The school gravitates around a hidden garden that gives access to the four classrooms and the essential daily facilities (kitchen and restrooms), acting as a filter from the noisiest and most exposed activities occurring all around. Such an introverted and well-integrated nucleus constitutes the core configuration of the school, allowing for the progressive occupancy planned for the first years of development. Adopting the modular functionality of the concrete frame with infill concrete bricks used by Abay Ethiopia, the structure offers many possibilities to rearrange uses and internal spaces (the general structural bay is 5.6 m x 5.6m, and 7.5m x 5.6 m for the classrooms). The four classrooms can either accommodate the single teaching activities or be joined together by opening the adjustable and foldable wooden panels for hosting large gatherings. The annexed multipurpose room is isolated yet connected to the four classrooms, serving as a covered courtyard in the first phase and as a lecture room with an administration office in the second phase. Whereas learning and teaching activities occur in the rooms around the garden, playing demands fewer constraints and wider covered spaces to facilitate the social interaction among the children and between the school and the community. Thus, the school can rapidly expand beyond its introverted nucleus into an ample light canopy, whose triangular form — chosen to improve the connections of the new preschool to the two existing sites — can be easily rearranged, grouped, or partitioned according to future necessities. The canopy offers a stage for activities of all sorts, including a circular open-air playground and a place for collective dining. The area can be entirely closed or opened thanks to its porous perimetral enclosure, offering various degrees of accessibility.
