Bhadran school - Institutional

Designed and perceived to sit on four acres of a fruit orchard in the town of Bhadran in Gujarat, the design of the school grew organically as a series of modular classrooms. The children would prance their way through the trees, encountering different elements, forming a composition of experiences that weave together to bring forth the fabric of the school. The form is articulated from a study of scribbling patterns of a child, architecturally expressed as asymmetric arches, breaking into lopsided vaults and irregular jack arches spanning across skewed beams.
