WATER COLLECTION
linear concrete foundations (45 cm) and concrete water tank (with ceramic filter of local production)
drainage with deep fine local stones (200mm) carried by women and children and posed by the workers
realization of volumes using clay bricks (30 60 cm thick), wood and traditional techniques
4. PORTICO
5. ROOF STRUCTURE
6. FLOORING AND SHADING
promoting local economies, the arcade is made out of wooden boards produced nearby and covered with straw
a reticular structure made of palm-wood pillars and beams supports the roof (iron sheet) and protects the volumes
traditional clay flooring (beated and polished ) and shading of the principal facade with straw
rainwater is collected by the roof and stored in an underground space; the water contained in this storage is filtered and fills a water fountain allowing the ablution
VENTILATION SYSTEM holes, positioned in the lower part of the outer walls, let the air in, which is then transported away under the roof using a simple venturi principle; holes on top of the walls are protected by a mosquito-net ceiling
