It provides an environment where the future mankind is shaped. *School is child's first institution which is responsible for shaping his character & building his future. It gives society a civilized person, a more sensitive & competent citizen. +School provides an access to the latest technology and thoughts. +A Residential School is one where students stay in the hostels and pursue their studies. They live in with fellow students. *Some schools offer residence as an option for outstation students while in some others, availing the residence facilities of the school is compulsory. Residential schools essentially provide food and lodging for a specific fee. Varied number of students share rooms or dormitories and remain under the guidance of house master or house mistress or matron. It is essential that the built environment of the school should be conducive for learning. Design should enhance the environment which support the creative skills of a child. FROM THE HISTORY The concept of grouping students together in a centralized location for learning has existed since Classical antiquity. Formal schools have existed at least since ancient Greece, ancient India (Gurukul) and ancient China. Many of the earlier public schools in the United States were one-room schools where a single teacher taught seven grades of boys and girls in the same classroom.

The respective costs are one important consideration but just as important is the question of how much energy (or fuel) was used in their manufacture. -Use of inappropriate building technologies and designs is the largest single contributor to environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources and inequitable distribution of wealth and opportunity. Developing nations like India must therefore focus on the use of appropriate technology in their building industry. «By careful selection of materials and technologies in order to reduce consumption, it is possible to significantly reduce emissions. There are a no. of the available and usable technologies in India, which have proven to be successful after years of trial by scientists, engineers and architects from different parts of the country. “IT MAY BE NOTED THAT COST-EFFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES DO NOT COMPROMISE WITH THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE BUILDINGS AND MOSTLY FOLLOW THE PREVAILING BUILDING CODES. RELATED STUDIES =Workshop of CSEB, RAMMED EARTH and other earth construction techniques at Auroville. "Study of various techniques developed and promoted by agencies like C.B.R.I. and B.M.T.P.C. L SCHOOL, PATHANKOT 5__ INTRODUCTION | AIM & OBJECTIVES *To design a school which will provide good built environment with a blend of cluster and courtyard planning and merging the built form with open space and landscape for a soothing environment. -To incorporate the Cost Effective Construction Techniques by using Appropriate Building Materials and Techniques and by using recycled material to achieve economy in initial construction and maintenance costs. VALIDITY With the growing population, the school construction is essential in every pat of the world. But due to high construction costs and depletion of natural resources, there is need to incorporate cost effective and innovative technologies . «Pathankot is located at the junction of three Northern states- Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and J&k, so it acts as an ideal location for setting up of a residential school. -Natural beauty of the site provide an excellent environment for a residential school. +Also the nearby areas have developed as educational zone with the opening up of educational institutes L_ SCHOOL, PATHANKOTSITE LOCATION “The site is located very near to Pathankot on NH20 highway. sItis 12 kms from Pathankot Bus Station. «It is 11.5 kms from Pathankot Railway Station.

SITE AREA 16.5 Acres 8SPACE REQUIREMENTS OF CLASSROOM Aclassroom should not be mere enclosure of space to cater for the large variety of activities. It must provide a flexible space to meet the need of the changing educational pattern furniture & equipment. With the use of moveable furniture it is possible to achieve a variety of seating arrangement to meet the diverse needs of multifarious activities of the students. So the planning of classroom should be the outcome of a careful analysis of space requirements for different activities & arrangements. To arrive the suitable shape & size of a classroom the following factors are critical: =Basic dimension of children & their space requirements. =Dimension, incidence & arrangement of furniture and equipments. =Number of students to be accommodated. "Types of activities to be carried out. «Diverse seating arrangements essential for these activities. According to standards: =Forty students per class is the commonly accepted standard. *An area of 1.2 sq. m. per child is required for the effective performance of all the activities in the classroom. «Nearly square shaped classrooms are functionally better then other form of same area. *A classroom of 7.30 x 6.90 m in size for 40 students is considered suitable. L_ SCHOOL, PATHANKOTLand Area Requirement As Per N.B.C.(for a residential school) Built up area- 28% Open space- 72% Built up area includes: School building area- 18% Residential area- 10% Open area includes: Parking, Playground and fields- 72% C.B.S.E NORMS Infrastructure The infrastructural facilities should be as follows:- . (i) Class rooms - minimum size should be 8 m x 6 m (approx 500. sq. ft.). (ii) Science Labs.

(iii) Library - minimum size should be 14 m.x 8 m. fully equipped and with reading room facility. (iv) Computer Lab. and Math Lab. - No minimum size is prescribed, however, the school should have separate provision for each. (v) Rooms for extra curricular activities - either separate rooms for music, dance, arts & sports or one multi purpose hall for all these activities should be available. Physical Facilities 1. Class rooms should be adequate in size. The minimum floor space should at least be 1 sq. metre per student. 2. The school have suitable furniture in the classrooms and office equipment and furniture according to the strength of students and the staff. L SCHOOL, PATHANKOT fa3. The School should have adequate facilities for providing recreation activities and physical education as well as for conduct of various activities and programs for developmental education and for the social, cultural and moral development of the students and for safeguarding their health. 4. i) Adequate ground to create out door facilities for a 200 metre track; (ii) Adequate land for kabbadi and Kho-Kho; and (iii) Facilities for playing Volleyball. «The Library should be well equipped and spacious. It should have at least five books per student in its stock subject to a minimum of 1500 at the beginning. «The pupil teachers ratio should not exceed 30. = The number of students in the class should not be very large. The optimum number in a section of a class is 40. SCHOOL, PATHANKOT “aORGANISATION OF SPACE The built form of a school can be broadly classified into five types namely single and double corridor, courtyard, cluster & campus. SINGLE CORRIDOR TYPE: This is the most straightforward & simple arrangement of school building, allows a linear assembly of classroom along a corridor having several advantages: "Clarity of organization. =Ease of natural lighting & control of access to facilities. =May separate the different aspects of the building. *L & S shape corridor can provide interesting visual spaces with classrooms arranged along its spine. DOUBLE CORRIDOR TYPE: Double corridor provides a compact form, economy and flexibility as compare to single corridor type building. The various factors of this type of design are: - =Make a continuous close area. =Built quickly & accommodate a higher ratio of functional areas. "It reduces the exposed perimeter, which is suitable for hot climate. =The major odd factor with type of design is that light & ventilation should be carefully workout (may include skylight, double height corridor, dormer window etc.) COURTYARD TYPE: This type of planning is quite common in India & hold illustrious places in the traditional academic buildings. The various factors of this type of design are: - =Provides central shaded area, a controlled play area and a variety of adjacent verandah, corridor and rooms. «Provides better interaction between student & faculty and fulfill the shortcomings of covered spaces (in hot climate). «Separate courtyard can be used for different function & level of education, with several independent buildings around their own central courtyard. L_ SCHOOL, PATHANKOT 12CLUSTER TYPE: The cluster approach attempts to translate the need for segregating educational, academic, service & other functions to a well define zones. The various factors of this type of design are: - =The classrooms are arranged in groups or clusters around a common area. =The creation of a common space along with classroom clusters gives the school a more intimate spatial quality & a greater sense of identity. = A module of classrooms can be extended in stages, as need increases. =The circulation is a difficult problem, which can be resolved by careful planning. CAMPUS TYPE: Large school & educational centres demand a combination of built forms. The planning of a large school involves the integration of corridor, nucleated, cluster & courtyard forms. The various factors of this type of design are: - "It focuses on the creation of a variety of exterior & interior spaces. "It emphasis on the relationship of building & open spaces. =The campus plan is a large courtyard type consisting of several buildings around a series of courtyard. =Campus design use both — classical models of organization with a central green and formal pathways & also non-classical arrangements including the organization of irregular geometry or a series of courtyards, each having separate identity.

To address the issue of educating, while employing the slum children, the NGO created an activity centre in the middle of a squatter settlement. The centre also operates as an informal school in the morning. In the afternoon it trains the youth with vocational skills for better employability. And in the evening it transforms into community centre with sports, leisure, gymnastics as well as social gathering facility. This multi-use centre was created as a demonstration of the indigenously developed and locally produced building components created by recycling the domestic and municipal waste. This meant reduction in waste thrown, thereby reduction in environmental pollution. — The building components thus produced are, cheaper and better performing than the conventional alternatives readily employed. In an adjoining plot a creche was developed. Young children in slum areas have problem of being looked after through the day, when both parents are out at work for earning livelihood “Architectural Proposal FOR A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL, PATHANKOT raLITERATURE REVIEW MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY WALL TYPES: =Fly ash, cement. =Waste residue bricks =Glass bottle, flyash, cement mortar =Plastic bottle, flyash, cement mortar =Vegetable/fruit crate, flyash, cement mortar DOOR TYPES: =Wooden crate and oil tin sheet =Fibre reinforced plastic WINDOW TYPES: «Window/ fruit crate, discarded reinforced bars.

Rammed earth walls 2. Foundations in stone masonry. 3. Floor slab with vaulted earth block panels on concrete joists. Economic performance and compatibility The works contract is a pilot venture and is input-cost based and must lead to an understanding of the market factors for disseminating earth technology in mainstream construction. Earth construction for walls is the least costly construction essentially for its low embodied energy, high manual labor and low diesel input. “Architectural Proposal FOR A RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL, PATHANKOT ryDASHMSH ACADEMY LOCATION *The Academy is located four kilometers away from the famous Gurudwara Takhat Sri Keshgarh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib.. #It is well connected by rail and road and is 80 Kms from Chandigarh towards Nangal Dam.

This school was meant to cater to an extremely impoverished community located in the dirtiest area of a slum settlement. LOCATION The Deepalaya School is located in one of the largest slums of Delhi at Sanjay Colony, Okhla Industrial Estate, New delhi. SANJAY. COLONY The route passes by Okhla Estate Marg and it is located 19 kms away from New Delhi railway station. It had a very poor access, but was the only piece of land available in the dense settlement. cl E: The climate of Delhi is a monsoon-influenced with high variation between summer and winter temperatures and precipitation and has relatively dry winters and has a prolonged spell of very hot weather. Extreme temperatures have ranged from -0.6 °C to 47 °C. ABOUT THE SITE SITEAREA : 2200 SQ.MT. ARCHITECT: Anil Laul, Faridabad. The site is approached via the industrial land of the region. The site is located in the dirtiest area of a slum settlement right next to a community toilet, in the dense settlement of 600 dwelling units per hectare, housing approximately three thousand families. SCHOOL, PATHANKOT aDESIGN CONCEPT The School was built to exemplify a creative, cost-effective design with spatial configurations and interaction spaces to match the scale of a growing child. It is a conviction that providing well planned, designed buildings would inspire a positive response in the children. The idea was that an inspiring building does not have to be expensive and that innovative materials, colour and texture can generate a built quality that would actually change human behaviour. PLANNING «The school building for the Deepalaya Education Foundation was built in two major Phases. In first phase, the ground floor, was framed around a central courtyard. The first phase was built by the Nizamuddin Building Centre (sponsored by HUDCO and the Slum Dept.) * In the second phase, the courtyard was covered with a & on large span of Funicular Shells and the other blocks wo were added gradually.
