The Straw Bale School in Malawi, East Africa was designed by Nudes. Its principal architect, Nuru Karim explains the practice's central ethos, as one of "defining modernity in architecture" #Thread 
The design is based on modular solutions of timber and straw bale. It follows an intricate technological process, ensuring an innovative structural system related performance and use of materials.
Similarly, the spatial plan follows an equally inventive scheme.

Out of the classroom learning environments are manifested in the form of amphitheaters.

tied to its form and function.
The ladder is like A-frames forming an inside outside design logic. These systematically open up as libraries and reading spaces.
The straw bale school achieves an aesthetic, design and pedagogical synthesis.

An adequate response to Nudes nexus of "defining modernity" in architecture and materiality.
