A Project to Discuss: Makoko Floating School. 

This floating elementary school exists in an above water shanty town near Lagos, Nigeria. There are three stories to the triangular school, which is floating on plastic barrels. The lower level is the largest and acts as a community space when school isn’t in session. Overall, the school gives each student adequate space and access to daylight; two factors that improve one’s ability to learn. NLE hopes that this will become a prototype and help transform the water town to have buildings that offer more to the residents.
