Project: Axis Pramiti, Kanakpura, Bengaluru
Architects: The Purple Ink Studio, New Delhi
The programmatic values of the school believe in breaking away from the standard scholastic teaching system. The design embraces the creative enterprise of ‘flexible learning’ to cater to the needs of a heterogeneous group of learners. The site is a land with steep sloping natural topography and several existing trees making it an ideal setting for imparting education in a green environment. The premise is designed to be safe and close knit yet completely flexible creating an encouraging and interactive environ.
The design process for the built forms was initiated by understanding the climatology of the surroundings and is planned making the best use of the existing local climate. The site is north facing and has a vast open space on the east side which is a designated playground area. The design scheme is conceptualised on generating continuity with the surroundings and drawing these lines into the interiors of the building.
