INTRO:

The benefits of design comes in manifolds. Design can build a school for children in a remote area where access to water, energy, and educational materials are difficult to distribute, Design can promote a healthier environment for the children in a school building by using sustainable materials and techniques, Design can support indigenous and native designs and practices in a country that is becoming Westernized. The Salakot School Project allows us to explore good design that can save lives.

The Salakot school design is a low-cost school made from sustainable and indigenuous materials for low-income families .The proposed public school building renovation of the Salakot School is for the Lamak Elementary School, located in Sitio Lamak, Baranagay Mayana Barili, Cebu City, Philippines.
