Al Moallaka School

MOALLAKA, LEBANON

Date: 2019
Client: GIZ and MEHE (Ministry of Education and Higher Education)
Area: 7000 m2
Status: Completed

The campus of the Moallaka Intermediate Public School for boys is large and already offers a covered sport field that is used by the village community. A neglected public garden with large cypress trees has recently been added by the Municipality to the campus. Our approach aimed at creating specific outdoor spaces for the school all while enhancing the role of the school vis-a-vis the community by allowing a separate public access for events tournaments happening in the covered terrain but also in the newly proposed large outdoor multi-purpose sport field. In the newly claimed public garden, we implemented a natural
playground including: amphitheater, wood play equipment, outdoor classrooms and seating areas. These elements are linked by a path meandering between the trees.
