DESIGN OF A LEARNING SPACE FOR THE ABSORBENT MIND : A MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Military Institute of Science and Technology

Project idea

“When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.”
- Dr Maria Montessori

Project description

Focusing on the quotation of Dr Maria Montessori, I started my design, where
I considered the students will achieve more knowledge from nature than the classrooms which will help them to become practical. Thus the target of Montessori method will be fulfilled.

Technical information

The site was the site of Sunbeams school, Uttara where there was a
huge chemical factory in the south. So, it was a challenge for me to design a Montessori school where the students will be safe from the harmful effects of the factory. I created a green buffer at the south and keep the classrooms far from the south side and designed a devious and high boundary wall to prevent the sound also.
