Egeplan / detail Not only would it provide children with an alternative to their original primary school-which was built on reclaimed land prone to flooding-but it would act as a community meeting place Adeyemi designed the school using locally sourced wood and bamboo, and floated it atop 250 plastic barrels. The concept won multiple awards and was hailed as reflective of a new style of architecture, created to meet local needs and the practical environmental considerations of this waterfront community.

The government backed away from demolition and instead approved a regeneration plan. ss The school became a symbol of bottom-up development, its designs even adopted by the state ministry of urban development for new house plans. The collapse throws this process into disarray.

[...] 75 Makoko Floating school Aljosha Kamp 13.Klasse 1.Why is the Makoko Floating school important for the slums? The text "Does Makoko Floating School's collapse threaten the whole slum's future" was written by Cynthia Okoroafor and published in the Guardian on the 10 June 2016. It is an article about a new school in Makoko. This idea was very new but many children in Makoko went to this school. The architect Kunle Adeyemi designed the school for the poor children in the slums an built this school in the year 2013. For these children it is a beacon of hope for their future. It is a good opportunity for many children in the Slums to go to school and good for the infrastructure in Makoko. As a consequence of the school the city has a little bit of hope and the community is closer to other communities until the storm 2013 in which the school was destroyed. Also this new idea with the swimming school got global attention and a lot of positive feedback. For the children it is very good. In the following it means, that every student can go to this school, after the primary school. The education standards increased in result of the floating school. Also, it is a good meeting point for the inhabitants and the social surrounding is better in the area. In case of the good innovation the hope of a better future increased in the city and gave Makoko a global profile. Furthermore, the architect uses only resources from the environment around the Slums, so that is very good for the environment. In the end this school gave Makoko a new generation plan and a lot of benefits in the future with the building of a new school. 2. Analyse the author's use of language and decide what kind of reader she is addressing. The text was written by the author Cynthia Okoroafor for a quality newspaper. She describes in the first-person perspective what the Makoko school is and what benefits the school has. In her text she uses many positive words to describe the school. For example she emphasizes the school and says how good the school is for Makoko "the Floating school, when it came, gave Makoko a global profile" (1152/53). In this statement the reader notices, how good the school is. Furthermore she describes everything in detail, so that the reader feels close to the author. It helps also, because the reader can imagen the situation and has a picture in his mind ("There was a storm, and the building of the Floating School was shaking because of the wind" II.25.28), Another aspect for example are the many quotes in the text. One instance is ""The foundation was not too strong" ". This own experience from the author makes it more reliable for the reader and the reader believes it. But there are also other stylistic devices like an enumeration in lines 35-40: "Built in 2013 by Kunle Adeyemi (...) and the Makoko waterfront - it was designed to function two ways". The reader gets an overview about the history of the school and the organisations around the school. Furthermore there is a contrast in the language of the author. The language is very emotive, because the topic seems to be very important for the author. The contrast is between the choose of words, in the same sentence the author uses negative words like "demolition" to describe the aim for the city:"(1.31) but in the following Okoroafor chooses positive words: "and found a beacon of hope" (1.32).
