A. In comparison to ordinary schools, the student and instructor

roles are reversed, and the meaning of indoors vs. outside is
interpreted differently.
Holding a lecture on the mound pushes the lecturers' comfort
zones outside of the classroom, which is uncommon on most
campuses.
Indoor studios are cubicle-like space pockets where each student
can personalise everything from the light fixtures to the
furniture. This facility allows students to feel free, Ironically, in a

looks like a pocket created by three walls, not the
conventional four .

1. WALLS = DOORS=
WINDOWS
2. UNLOADED CORRIDORS

Which is to mean that the corridor is not bound by walls on either side but is a
thoroughfare that cuts through the heart of each studio- a deliberate step to
encourage peeping and work top Interaction
Brick adds intimacy of scale Massive load bearing walls- ideal display space
Punctures in the building Coupled with level changes- keep all distances

◾There has to be a feeling of no restriction to
the exchange of ideas and thoughts through
an informal environment.

◾A thrust has to be given on the provision of

flexible spaces which can be used in a
multifunctional manner.

◾A strong interconnectivity amongst spaces is

required, making the school an ‘ open space
with hardly any doors ’.
