Two kind foreign architects, Andrea Tabocchini and Francesca Vittorini have created and built an ‘inside out’ school in a rural village in Ghana called Yeboahkrom.
The two architects came up with the idea to design and built the school for less privileged kids which has won them many international awards and given them global recognition.
The project design for the school came about when strong winds destroyed the only school in the village of Yeboahkrom.
The non-profit design project was built in 60 days with just 12,000 euros with the help of volunteers from 20 different nations and the local populace.
Since there was no power, the school project was constructed by hand using local resources (earth, wood, and plants).
In addition, 58,000 kg of dirt were moved by hand, and 3 kilometres of wood were planed with two hand planers.
Andrea Tabocchini and Francesca Vittorini have won awards for their ‘inside out’ school project. They emerged as 2nd prize winners of the “4th Earth Architecture Competition” and also won the 2017 RTF Sustainability Awards for Pubic Building (Built).
