L'Africa è un grande continente con una grande crescita demografica, d’altra parte sfortunatamente ci ricorda la povertà, malattie e alcuni altri problemi. In un primo momento, in qualità di architetti, abbiamo voluto definire i criteri di progettazione per gli edifici e costruire alcune case a prezzi accessibili con l'aiuto delle tecnologie passive con l’obiettivo di far spostare le persone dai quartieri bassi alle case, ma successivamente con ulteriori ricerche abbiamo scoperto che i problemi sono molto più profondi di quanto pensassimo, quindi abbiamo deciso di lavorare per migliorare le infrastrutture già presenti come quelle dedicate all’istruzione, che ha molta importanza per migliorare un paese. In questa tesi, l'obiettivo finale è progettare scuole secondarie efficienti attraverso strategie sensibili al clima e tecnologie nZEB per un totale di 100 studenti, che possono diffondersi in molti paesi africani. Lo scopo di questo progetto è quello di fornire una migliore istruzione ai cittadini più giovani e la parità di genere dando loro la possibilità di accedere a una scuola secondaria dignitosa. La scuola non sarà una semplice scuola con aule, ma un luogo misto di istruzione accademica e laboratori di soft skills e aiuterà le famiglie anche a guadagnare soldi grazie alle tecnologie che verranno applicate. Vogliamo utilizzare materiali locali, sistemi costruttivi facili (edifici low tech) e tecnologie energetiche per fare proposte il più efficienti possibile.

Abstract
Africa is a big continent with large population growth while it reminds us of poverty, diseases, and some other problems. At first, as architects, we wanted to define design criteria for buildings and build some affordable houses with the help of passive technologies to move people from slums to houses but with further research, we found out that the problems are much deeper than we thought, so we decided to work and improve infrastructure there like education, which has a lot of importance for improving a country. In this thesis, the ultimate goal is to design the high-performance secondary school building through climate-responsive strategies and nZEB technologies for 100 students in total, which can popularize in many African countries. The aim of this project is to provide a better education to the youngest citizens of the country and gender equality by giving them the opportunity to access a decent secondary school infrastructure. The school will not be a simple school with classrooms it would be a place mix of academic education and skill workshops and helps families also to earn money by technologies which will be apply. We want to use local materials, easy constructive systems (low tech buildings) and energetic technologies in order to make proposals as efficient as possible.
