BSO
Blue Schools Oman

Design of prototype public school building in the Sultanate of Oman. The building is organized as an easily expandable, plug and play system with a 24H “life-cycle”. A series of renewable energy systems are embedded into the roof-structure allowing nearly 100% energy self-sufficiency. Inspired by the traditional organizational typologies of the medina the introverted building consists of semi-embedded individual units orientated towards a central circulation canyon. The volumes are covered by a multifunctional roof structure designed on the basis of traditional Islamic geometry.
