Each part of the school is oriented towards the north opening into large sheltered semi enclosed transitional spaces. This is a very important aspect for reducing heat gain. The sun is always in the southern hemisphere in the location of this site.
The school design imbibes the traditional courtyard planning reminiscent of ancient Indian architecture to provide cooler spaces internally. The organic sifting of individual blocks too is desired from the traditional architecture of the region. Designed in response to the hot desert climate, the spaces within desire north light, are naturally cross ventilated and built in local materials along existing land levels to create a sustainable built environment.
