Lapalala Curator House

The design of the Lapalala Wilderness School Biodiversity Centre integrates sustainability, local heritage, and educational goals through the use of eco-friendly materials like Kiaat timber, concrete screed, limewash, and calico cotton fabric. The centre will focus on promoting sustainable practices, particularly through the Mopani worm harvesting process, offering hands-on learning opportunities in the Mopani Kitchen Laboratory. Flexible spaces such as interactive exhibitions, multifunctional presentation areas, and reflective pods support a variety of educational activities, while outdoor spaces provide a connection to nature. This design not only respects the natural environment but also empowers the local community, promoting sustainable food practices and creating an engaging learning experience for all visitors.
