SAP Builds in Perquin, El Salvador

SAP Builds, a student-run group comprised of undergraduate and graduate students from Architecture and Urban Planning, participated in a two-week design/build workshop in Perquin, El Salvador in January 2009. Students and Professor John Ochsendorf helped to develop and build an iconic entry plaza for the Amún Shéa elementary school and community center. The student body is composed of children from an underserved, war-torn region of El Salvador. Through discussions and design charrettes, the team was able to craft a transition space connecting the existing facilities with the new expanding campus.
