Hura Al-Salam
High School

The school is located on a horseshoe-shaped hill. It blends in with the ridge line that stood deserted and overlooked the village. The building complies with the topographical constraints. The façade of the inner courtyard includes mashrabiya built to shade from the desert sun, prevent direct radiation, and lower the building's temperature.

 

The result is a unique building tailored to a specific hill, not transferable to another site. Due to the lack of spaces for community activities around the school, the project serves as a catalyst for creating an urban space. Accordingly, the courtyard is designed as an amphitheater capable of hosting gatherings for the entire community.
