Dakar Learning Commons
Located in Dakar, Senegal, this mixed-use school and community health center explores how architecture can respond to both environmental and social needs. Designed around the idea of connection, elevated buildings, bridges, and shared outdoor spaces create a network of movement while responding to seasonal flooding. Passive shading, local material strategies, and integrated gardens further adapt the project to Dakar’s climate.
