Argumentative Question
Tatawadi is an agricultural school for the blind which is a secluded place that cradles a diverse form of vegetation such as wetlands, orchids, coconut and mango plantations, flora, and fauna. On our investigation, we realized that the built forms do not respond to or complement the micro-environments and the vast ecology this place offers. How can one think through all these human and non-human accords? How can one introduce new recreational spaces and activities across these microclimatic conditions to make them more fluid and experiential sensorially? How can we change and alter the form and orientation of the structure according to the diverse micro-environments How can the blind inhabit these spaces?
