Mexico has built a unique floating school

Unpredictable climate changes along with the most vulnerable coastal areas of some countries can lead to the incredible design solutions that verify the "strength" of the architectural opportunities and the possibility of adaptation.
Coastal slums Makoko that is located near the lagoon of Lagos, in Nigeria all the time with floods. Living conditions are not very good – shacks built over dark, smelly, full of rubbish, water.





Kunle Adeyemi (Kunle Adeyemi) wants to help people get another chance at a normal life. He is almost finished building a three-storey floating school, which can accommodate hundreds of students and teachers.





According to experts in Makoka lives near a hundred thousand people. However, the good life it's pretty difficult to call the settlements have no roads, no land, nor any formal infrastructure.
Still in Makoka was only one English teacher in a primary school, built on an abandoned piece of land, who all the time suffers from floods.





In order to improve the situation, the architectural firm NLÉ, headed by Kunle Adeyemi, has invented a prototype floating structure that will serve primarily as a school, at the same time be easy to adapt for other purposes and needs. It can work as a clinic, market, entertainment centre and living room.
