summer and protection from cold wind in
winter.
• Following the sloping topography facing the
valley, all outdoor and indoor spaces are
carefully organized on three levels of
terraces.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• The activity center having hillside with a
slop around 20 degrees.
• The 0.5-meter-thick rammed-earth wall
works well as thermal mass to effectively
balance indoor temperature and humidity.
• All the building material are took from the

Project aim
• The approach was mainly to focus on
providing appropriate resources for the
school considering their way of learning.
• Initial idea was to have continuous set of
curves for a compound wall, arranged in a
configuration to achieve class room inside
and play areas outside.
• This curve wall would act as an unending
canvas for writing. It further got developed
as a single curve wall instead of several
small curves that ensured the utilization of
space for communal activities too.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
• A covered space is created by adding a
wall parallel to the curve which could
accommodate two classrooms. In this
formation an informal activity area is
created which divides as well as connects
both the classrooms.
• The addition of semi circular courtyards in
the classroom was a response to enclose
existing trees.
• The classrooms are covered with metal
roof which goes along the curve of the
wall, complimenting both the inside and
outside spaces.
