Amazing: See Pictures of Lagos' Infamous Floating School. Sitting On Top Of The Lagoon

The aim of the school was to generate a new, sustainable building system for Africa’s coastal regions. Photograph: Iwan Baan Unskilled local workers were hired to build the structure, with the idea that they could then go out and build their own homes with the techniques learned while erecting the school. Everyone in the community understands its value, not least because all of the materials used are ones they live with each day.

Inexpensive and elementary to assemble, the main aim of the school was to generate a new, sustainable and ecological building system for the teeming population of Africa’s coastal regions. The floating structure adapts to the tidal changes and varying water levels of the lagoon, making it invulnerable to flooding and storm surges.
