Sra Pou vocational school built during spring 2011, is a vocational training center and community placed in Sra Pou village, in Cambodia. The school is designed by architects Rudanko&Kankkunen from Finland, both of the two architects took care of building design and project management.
Small gaps in brickwork allow soft natural light and breezes to flow through the building, while colourful woven shutters open the indoor teaching areas onto a shaded terrace.
The Sra Pou school was built by the local community from hand-dried blocks of the surrounding soil.
The purpose of the vocational training centre is to encourage and teach poor families to earn their own living. The Sra Pou community is one of the unprivileged communities in Cambodia, who have been evicted from their homes in the city to the surrounding countryside. They lack basic infrastructure, decent built environment and secure income. The new vocational school provides professional training and helps the people to start sustainable businesses together. It is also a place for public gathering and democratic decision-making for the whole community. A local NGO organizes the teaching.
