Makoko Floating School, Nigeria
This hovering structure, designed by the NLÉ Makoko Community Building Team, uses an innovative, cheap and sustainable approach to address the needs of the water community of Makoko, Nigeria. Located in the lagoon heart of the country's largest city, Lagos, its main aim is to create an ecological, alternative building system for the teeming population of Africa's coastal regions.
