A rural school built with the community, from the earth beneath it.

Completed

Built using compressed earth blocks made on site, the Field School was constructed alongside the families it serves. Vaulted classrooms stay cool through the day; shaded courtyards extend the learning space outdoors.

The project is as much a method as a building — a demonstration that dignified public architecture can be made from local hands and local ground.
