the roof frame from timber or
bamboo and its cladding from
straw, clay tiles or corrugated
iron. The bamboo could only be
used during a particular time of
the year, where it grew.
The same attitude governed the
designing of the chicken-farming
school near the town Kindia. The
school was made up of three
independent classrooms for 12
pupils, a dormitory wing and
teachers' accommodation form-
ing a ring around a courtyard. A
fruit tree was planted in the cen-
tre of the courtyard, specially
chosen for growing speed and
large crown intended to provide
shadow for people sitting below
in the cool shadow.
All these buildings emphasise
natural ventilation and an attempt
was made to use building tech-
nology available locally. A combi-
nation of materials and spaces
reflected the properties and fin-
ishes of each part of the buildings
and bore witness to the sensitivity
of the architects and their attitude
toward a culture totally different
from their own.
Mikko Heikkenen and Markku
Komonen showed brave under-
standing of the use of space and
environment, taking into account
the influence of the architecture
on the land and those using it. In
so sensitive an environment,
where it is extremely important to
preserve the equilibrium of
Nature, they used local materials
that did not appear to be unwel-
come guests. They did not con-
trast with the landscape and peo-
ple enjoyed their nuances just like
those of Nature when people
gathered under the shadow of
the trees or sat on the veranda
and listened to the rustle of the
leaves in the warm evening
breeze. Experiences are connect-
ed to the buildings like any other
material. ■
