- The architectural concept for Sana El-Ebdaa School draws inspiration from the structure of desert plants , particularly the branching geometry of leaf veins. Just as a main stem feeds smaller branches, the school’s spatial organization begins with a central administrative core that connects to secondary corridors, which in turn lead to classrooms and learning zones.
- The building’s external envelope features broken lines, shading elements, and recessed windows , a contemporary interpretation of traditional desert foliage and mashrabiyas. These elements not only reflect the regional context but also enhance environmental performance through passive cooling and daylight control.
- This layered circulation strategy forms a clear functional hierarchy while generating a series of shaded courtyards that enhance ventilation and daylight. The courtyards serve as both transitional spaces and communal hubs for students and staff.
