The commission for the Anam City School is for one of first structures of the ongoing Anam New City: An African Model For Sustainable Development project by the Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation. The project was designed by a collaborative of Ryan Bollom, Ashley Heeren and DK Osseo-Asare from LowDO and Quilian Riano from DSGN AGNC. The project includes classrooms for all educational levels from pre-K to High School as well as administrative and medical areas. An important feature of the design is a series of contiguous courtyards and passageways that connect all the students even if they occupy different sections of the large school complex. The outdoor landscaped areas also provide potentials for educational activities to take place outside of the classroom. Learning from the land.
