03 PRIMARY SCHOOL

Education is a means to self- exploration and fulfilment. A good design of education space matters. It is about the education and life chances of young people. Evidence shows a clear link between well-designed schools and pupil performance and behavior. Thus, an attempt to harness a cutting-edge architectural design for the purpose of new learners and little grownups is envisaged. A primary school is an institution in which children receive the first stage of compulsory education known as primary or elementary education for the age group of 4 years -11 years. The objectives of the School are:

• To stimulate the children’s complete potential as a being

• To facilitate the children to make use of the resources of the school on a day to day basis for physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

04 CULTURAL CENTRE

A Project that envisions to promote one particular art/culture/heritage/folkform or the identity of a community (of choice of the individual) through education, exhibition and entertainment.

India’s rich cultural legacy, the knowledge of which is needed to be disseminated is a challenge that faces us as responsible citizens. This project will serve as a place where the form can be learnt, experienced, practiced, researched and promoted. The means can also serve to improve the life of the practitioners of such art forms. Tourism is always part of such centres but the core idea is to establish the particular form of art in its value. India, as a nation has thousands of art form that need to be brought out in open. Raising awareness and communicating the significance of heritage will be the main programme requirements.

Golden Ratio

It is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of different lengths such that the ratio of the whole segment to that of the longer segment is equal to the ratio of the longer segment to the shorter segment. Here the two segments signify the training center and the museum which are similar where the museum being the longer line segment. When this representation is looked upon as a plan, it signifies my design in a human form where OAT serves as the head and the training center and museum are the two hands of the human.
