SCHOOL DESIGN

Purbanchal University

Project idea

I want to start with the small story of a boy from a small town who never wants to go to school because he doesn’t like the environment the way it is and that small boy is me, the thing that I have experienced in my life I never want to give to the future generation.

Project description

The concept of this school design is to create safe, innovative learning environments that motivate students, and support teaching and learning. There are countless empty unused shipping containers that can be used and recycled to create a learning environment. So, using unused shipping containers to create a colorful learning environment where discovery, curiosity, interaction with nature, and activity-based learning that encouraged to promote children’s holistic development.

The site is located in satdobato, Kathmandu, Nepal. It covers an area of 4069.9 square meters. The building space includes an auditorium hall, lab, library, exhibition space, classroom, underground soundproof classroom, (presentation hall, music classroom, Dance Hall), administration block, and canteen. The two-storied building with roof-top canopies. The underground soundproof classroom includes a presentation hall, music classroom, and Dance Hall.

Technical information

The design of this school offers practical indoor and outdoor qualities to motivate students. Learning inappropriate physical spaces, indoor and outdoor learning spaces such as comfortable paths and walkways, light sources, and natural features of a landscape. Light is an incredible motivator for learning spaces so using maximum natural daylight in school.

Courtyard planning that acts as a buffer zone that absorbs unwanted sound produces less noise in the building and provides maximum daylight to the classroom requires no additional electrical lighting during the daytime.
All rainwater is harvested and treated on-site from the roof with arritation process that can be the main focal point of the school space where the water element (waterfall) is used as the main architectural feature of the school. The water element in open spaces has a high aesthetic value. Water has the effect of relaxing and detracting from stress in the space where it exists along with its therapeutical feature that can help students more focus on holistic development.
