It is essential that the built environment of the school should be conducive for learning
design should enhance the environment which supports the creative skills of a child. It
should provide ample opportunities to excel in their area of interest. The school
provides an access to the latest technology and thought.

OUTCOME

• Students will learn the role of built environment & open v/s-built form with respect to
the institutional building.
• Space planning with respect to the needs of different age groups.
• They will learn the concept of climate responsive design and also how to incorporate
the local architecture in their project.

Objectives
Develop a simple checklist to keep the brief and the design process going in the right
direction. These are explained in more detail below:

a. A high-quality design that inspires users to learn and is rooted in the

community
b. A sustainable approach to design, construction, environmental servicing and
travel to school
c. Good use of the site, balancing the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists,
and enhancing the school’s presence in the community
d. Buildings and grounds that are welcoming, safe and secure, and inviting to the
community while protective of the children
e. Good organisation of spaces in plan and section, easily legible and fully
accessible
f. Internal spaces that are well proportioned, fit for purpose and meet the needs
of the curriculum
g. Flexible design to support transformation, allowing for short-term changes of
layout and use, and for long-term expansion or contraction
h. Good environmental conditions throughout, including optimum levels of
natural light and ventilation
i. Well-designed external spaces offering a variety of different settings for leisure,
learning and sport
j. A simple palette of attractive materials, detailed carefully to be durable and
easily maintained, and to age gracefully

Methodology
Participatory and exploratory approach that is sympathetic and responsive to local
realities and context.
❖ Understanding
• Both primary and secondary research was carried out.

• Primary research will involve in-depth interviews with students and

teachers and maintenance staff.
❖ Case study

• Secondary research will involve descriptive studies of the functional planning

carried out while building school in the recent past. This will also involve
literature review by going through different books and journals including
standards of different authorities. Thus the study design is both exploratory
and descriptive in nature.
❖ Conceptual design

• It includes the understanding from all the study above in the form of design
concept and site zoning with its major functions.
❖ Design development
• Stage 1 : Single line drawings
(Plans, Elevation, Sections, and conceptual structure)

• Stage 2 : Double line Plan, elevation and sections and other details (3d
Modelling and renderings)
❖ Formulating and demonstrating (Pre- final)

• Plans/ Elevations/ Sections/Views or Model/ Details/ and other things that

you fell is necessary to be presented.
