Invited by Ghost Creative Productions, Colectivo Warehouse integrated a team of artists for the realization of an Arts and Ecology festival at Licée Galandou Diouf, a public school in the center of Dakar.
The project’s main objective was to awaken the young students and the entire school community to environmental awareness through Art.
During two weeks in residence, Colectivo Warehouse developed a project in the Library and its surrounding area. Starting by redesigning the interior layout of the existing library, the primary objective was to introduce students to architectural tools. From that point on, the conditions were created for us to start working with a group of kids and codesigning a "new" library, a new space for reading and studying made with, and for, the students.
Through the a collection of local wood waste/scraps, the school students were able to create and build a whole new structure based on circular economy. This structure is built from a small auditorium, nestled by the adjacent tree, where children can have their own "private" space in the school playground.

Nomad Base Camp is a prefab temporary 100m2 building, created to support CLARA’s international workshops. It’s a modular system created to be fast, adaptable, and with no impact on the site.
The architectural language of the Nomad base Camp introduces a contemporary image, based on a concise and clean design, where the volumetric shape interconnects harmoniously with the surroundings of the old brick factory, with a strong presence on the site.
The design of continuous one-pitch roofs is allusive to the shape of the roof of the brick factory and its slopes are determined to increase the energy efficiency of solar equipment, responsible for capturing and generating energy that leads to the self-sufficiency of this equipment.
