Growing crops The idea of Circulation has influenced Indian culture in many ways. There are circulationin in our daily life as well as in our social economy and Nature, at the same time, they also influence each other and interact with each other.

I think primary school should be a start point to educate students get acquainted with the real essence of the world ---Which is the endless circulation in balance, and help different circIes interact with each other. Therefore, I am designing primary school to benefir students and community with their own groups, econmics, environment circulation balance and enhance their interaction with each other.

For Interaction of school users: Interaction between kids is the most important thing to me at school, so I design classrooms that can help students interact with classmates in different ways, which is places to cross, to gather and to hide.

For Economy: Economy circulation can be a way to reply the environment. Reused architectural material can cost down the construction fee during the school construction. Recycling rainwater, solar energy (there are roof solar panels for electricity generation in my design.) in school’s daily life can reduce the cost of school operation. Planting vegetation in school can make extra income to help students who cannot afford school fee.

For Environment: I create landscapes with various height, some can be water pool, others can be playground with a lot of, which can make those kids interact with our environment.

Site Circulation system

Water system is composed of pools and channels.

Each pool is a space to create interaction of students and water.

Placing solar panel boards on the roof to reusing solar energy. Students farming classes can help grow the agricultural area.

Switching the classroom angle to create little gathering spaces.

Community and students activities area are surrounded by the classroom area. Each plaza is connected by the road.

Bamboo Interaction between students and classrooms are create by my classroom concept: cross, hide and gathering space. Different architectural material create different playing spaces for students.

For peeking

For communicating

For hiding

Stack rammed earth along with stones or even different color rammed earth to create interesting patterns.

Design 4 type area for students to play with water. There are farming area, playing area, net area and stage to become a cycle system. The rainwater first corss the channel and filtered before farming area, and it goes to toilet block. Toilet block is another part in this system, the water toilet block outlert will be filtered before going to the ECO pool.
