Project Brief: Concept behind the design was "Envelope", where nature is enclosed.

I wanted to pick something from nature. Which can also be called biomimicry. I have matched the envelope with turtle. Because the turtle encloses itself in a shell, which is a kind of envelope. Therefore, the building form is inspired by a turtle cell. Here I have used a green roof with a slope, that way children can play on the roof with a source of outdoor learning and activities. I have also placed a library on the 3rd floor from where children can easily come on the roof.

Apart from this, there is a system of climbing from the ground to the roof. I have kept the classrooms of my school on the ground and kept separate courtyard for primary and secondary school children with landscaping where children can spend time on their own.
