Project description
World Knowledge School is an international school located in 6th of October City. The school is designed to provide a well-balanced academic atmosphere to students in preliminary, intermediate and high-school stages. It is the first building in Egypt to use ICF (Insulating concrete forms). This technique was used to ensure fast track project with high thermal insulation characteristics while minimising the dead load of the building.
