This course helped to carry out detailed development and refinement of building design through technical resolution of structural systems, material performance and experience, member assembly, threshold-enclosure details and process of construction. Then conceptual ideas of localization went to actualization and generated a construction documentation set along with specifications, bill of quantities, estimations, ability in systems-thinking and the ability in detailing (detailing here is the act of putting together different materials and their assemblies in a manner that is conceptually coherent with the overall idea of the building).

Attempted to rethink local programes that have emerged from public activities that will critically craft the space and the built form.

Observation

School becomes multiple layering entity of gazes through partial materials and porosity which is observed to be altered depending upon the activities. To accommodate various possibilities the school allows different degrees of porosity.

Design detail;

Rethinking the idea of school through gradation of gaze and porosity and how can one blur the boundaries between classroom, courtyard and corridor . Can the corridor become an interactive space which merges the inside and outside.

Conceptual ideas;

Gradation of gazes through existing partial materials from school and rethinking idea of school through developing such layers with partial materials and also creating porosity.

Distinct wall heights, levels, openings , moving panels creating layering and porosity and forms formed with existing site conditions like planted trees etc.

Perforated panels with different heights , levels, layering and gradation of gaze and porosity (plan ,iso , section ,elevation) .

The idea of classroom becoming more partial, interactive spaces where in which the walls heights and levels allows children to have dinner, chat and multiple activites.
