The Fass School and Teacher's Residence is the product of a fertile cultural transposition that adapts the experiment of "collaborative learning" conducted by Josef Albers in his "One Room School House" in rural America to the extreme environmental conditions of a Senegalese village. Built in collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and the nonprofit organization Le Korsa, it consists of a circular structure that makes use of local materials, techniques and skills. All the spaces, including the classrooms, open onto a large internal courtyard, hub of the collective life of the school and a space open to play and improvisation. The school can host up to 300 students aged between five and ten and is the first in a region with over 110 villages to offer a secular education.
