A SCHOOL WITHIN THE CITY RUINS

by Saniat Chowdhury

How is self-discovery enabled for a child in the city? The school within the city ruins engages with the idea of tower forms acting as a set of ruins for children to explore. The aspect of different heights and ventilating spaces was looked upon and how a child’s curiosity is evoked using this. Furthermore, a city holds a series of fragmented elements, which are combined. But how is this formed to be particularly suited to children? The school within the city ruins creates a sequence of visions through the use of intimate spaces and larger open air spaces such as through lookout towers into the city and the playground being the heart of the school.
