Introduction to
Makoko Floating School

The Makoko Floating School is a floating school in Nigeria


dedicated to children’s living in poverty. Childrens in local area
receive free education from the school. Therefore, poor childrens
also receive free education. The school was teaching students for
3 years until the storm destroyed it. Aid-funded Makoko Floating
School offers free education to local children.
Teaching method
The structure has three levels: an open play area and community space; an
enclosed space for two classrooms for 60 pupils, connected by stairs to the
play area; and a semi-enclosed workshop space on a third level. It is
scalable and adaptable for other uses, such as housing, health clinic,
market, an entertainment centre or an infrastructure hub. The prototype’s
versatile structure is a safe and economical floating triangular frame that
allows flexibility for customisation and completion based on specific needs
and capacities.

insane weather takes place the school will be strong
and will not fall down like it did.
