The Dungga Classroom is Estudio Damgo's pilot project established in June 2012. A partnership between Foundation University, the Department of Education (DepED), and Municipality of Valencia showcases innovation in bamboo and sustainable design strategies. Dungga is a 68sm (225sf) annex preschool and kindergarten classroom located on the existing elementary school site in Malaunay, Valencia. The building features locally sourced bamboo, thatched (or
sak-sak) roof, and rammed earth. Located in a rural, mountain village, it captures expansive views, passive cooling, and natural daylight making it energy efficient. Many thanks to supporters, donors, and volunteers: Global Giving, Bambusa Collabo, and the local community. - Photos Courtesy of Foundation University Estudio Damgo
