Schorge School in Burkina Faso and the Selva Plan in Peru

Abstract

The present article speaks about the project of the Schorge school in Koudougou, Burkina Faso. It is an architecture built with limitations of all kinds: economic, infrastructural, climatic and social. The objective is to save the value of a building committed to the surrounding environment, the local culture and the population. It is proposed a parallel with the recent projects of Peruvians schools proposed by the Plan Selva. It is evaluated how Peru and Africa, although being two different realities, have common characteristics.
