In the open plain near the Malian village Gangouroubouro LEVS designed a new primary school. The architecture of the school reflects a connection to the local building traditions, culture and function. Compared with the rich architectural areas near the rocky walls in the Dogon area, particularly at this location the plain offers the possibility of a different architectural appearance.
