The Waldorf School Nairobi<\/a>, designed by Urko S\u00e1nchez Architects<\/a>, has been selected among the 20 winning projects<\/a> of the 2025 Holcim Foundation Awards<\/a>, which recognize contributions to sustainable design<\/a> and construction<\/a> worldwide. Located within a forested site in Nairobi<\/a>, the project was awarded in the Middle East<\/a> and Africa<\/a> region, acknowledging its sensitive response to site conditions, educational needs, and local culture. Developed in close dialogue with its surroundings and community<\/a>, the school explores low-impact construction<\/a> methods, the use of locally sourced materials, and participatory design<\/a> processes. <\/p>\n
