30 Modular Schools in Huanuco
2015 - Huanuco, Peru
Project Architect Arquitectura Verde
This project involved designing 30 modular schools to improve education access in rural Huánuco, Peru; where over 50% of children previously lacked infrastructure.
Funded by the Ministry of Education of Peru and the Inter-American Development Bank, the initiative connects communities through small schools, addressing poverty and long travel distances.
Focusing on the indigenous population, which comprises 42.9% of Huanuco's residents, the design incorporates community engagement, cultural awareness, and environmental sustainability.
The modular approach fosters exibility and creates public spaces that enhance social interaction and support community well-being.
