We planned and built a school building for children with disabilities near Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan. The building is the first phase of a future large school complex. The supporting structure was made of wood, the insulation of the outer walls and the roof insulation was made of straw, the class intermediate walls were made of rammed straw, a thick layer of clay was applied to all walls on both sides and the main wall in the corridor is a 25 cm rammed earth wall. The building is oriented with a longitudinal facade to the south in order to gain lifelong free solar heat in winter and transitional periods. The large canopy protects the facade from overheating in summer.
