Kinderspital Tambacounda
With its curvilinear layout, the new hospital employs several passive cooling techniques to respond to the harsh climate of Tambacounda. The perforated brick walls enable cross ventilation, while keeping sun and rain out and allow the building to operate without air-conditioning. The hospital was built by local builders using regional resources, benefiting the local community economically.
