areas, some architects have suggested possible solutions. Makoko Floating School is a prime example of

architectural structures that can help local residents adapt to those changes and maintain their education.

Before the construction of the floating School, children in Makoko didn’t have adequate facilities and they

suffered from frequent flooding. To minimize its effects, Kunlé Adeyemi, a Nigerian architect, came up with

the idea of developing a floating school. Shortly after its launch in 2012, his project received financial support

from various non-governmental organizations and was completed by the following year.

The school has three levels. On the ground is an open play area and community space where the residents

have meetings. On the second floor, there is an enclosed space for two classrooms whose capacities are up to

60 pupils. A semi-enclosed workshop space is placed on the third level. Apart from being used primarily as

an educational institution, the building is adaptable for other uses such as health clinic for urgent operations,

market or an infrastructure hub.

With the successful completion of Makoko Floating School, the Nigerian community have got accustomed to

aquatic lifestyles with ease. We can now hope to combat the negative impacts of global warming in the future.
