Study Center in Tacloban

摘要

During the period of 2010 / 2011 Ivar Tutturen, Trond Hegvold and Alexander Furunes (architecture students at NTNU, Norway) initiated and built a study center in the Philippines with the local slum community and a charity called Streetlight. This organization works with the seawall community in the city of Tacloban to help their children off the street, and into school.The aim was to use architecture as a tool to empower the parents to improve the learning conditions for their own children. Through a series of workshops, games and testing on site, the design process became a platform to exchange the passion and knowledge of everyone involved.
