Throughout this paper, public interest design will be used in conjunction with humanitarian design. They both are used to explain the same idea. Humanitarian design is becoming an outdated term and is often thought of as architecture designed for those in need. Where as public interest design is human focused with the participation of all who are involved or impacted by the design. In developing worlds, there are communities of people that are too remote to have quick access to simple necessities such as water, education, and healthcare. When humanitarian aid is implemented it is sometimes only for a short amount of time to help solve an issue. Buildings that are used are sometimes only temporary structures that provide little meaning to the community surrounding them; it is not a place that the community can call their own. Temporary aid is not a solution for long-term change. This thesis presents a master plan design for a school in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, that focuses on specific needs of the site and its users. It then presents a building design that balances the specific site conditions, environmental factors, needs of the school and relationship to existing buildings. By working closely with a school in Nicaragua, it is my hope to present a design that arrives at a set of possibilities, which provides an understanding of the traditions and its impact on architecture in Nicaragua. 2016-06-06 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1460653579 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1460653579 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
