HAMAMI Campus -Zutua
The HAMAMI Meiganga Campus is a long-term initiative in Cameroon that combines education, sustainable infrastructure, and ecological innovation within a holistic campus concept. Designed as a place for learning, collaboration, and self-sufficiency, the campus integrates architecture with environmental responsibility to create lasting opportunities for local communities.
As part of the Zutua precinct, Isopterra has been commissioned to design and construct several key facilities. The project includes two guard houses, a sanitary block, an aquaponic greenhouse, and a composting facility. These structures establish the functional framework for everyday campus life while supporting sustainable resource cycles and resilient food production. The primary construction technique is building with adobe bricks. At the beginning of the project, Professor Heiner Lippe led a workshop on the production of adobe bricks and the construction of arches using this technique.
Currently in the final stages of construction, the project reflects Isopterra's commitment to context-sensitive design, durable construction, and sustainable building solutions. By combining functional architecture with environmentally conscious systems, the Zutua development contributes to a campus that is both resilient and adaptable, providing a lasting foundation for education and community development.
