Abstract: “This paper presents the final thesis in Building Engineering and Architecture of student Luisa Di Nardo that consist in the design of an educational and professional training establishment in Africa - Tanzania, specifically in the town of Pande - Bagamoyo, a town that I visited and lived in, to better carry out the necessary investigations, thanks to the hospitality of some compatriots now living in Bagamoyo for several years. From research and analysis carried out it emerged that the frequent abandonment of traditional architecture in favor of Eastern and European character construction and materials created nothing but the spread of dysfunctional construction and hardly suited to the African context. Plastics, concrete blocks and galvanized sheets make very little improvement in the quality living of a population that is forced to endure temperatures and climatic conditions very different from those of the countries from which the materials originate. Hence the reflection on "Designi”
