A Case Of Serious Play
Maya Somaiya Library, Kopargaon, MaharashtraThe Maya Somaiya Library’s most captivating feature and function perhaps lie outside and above it. And it is not only the interesting feature and the form that captivates but also the opposing theories and arguments that the structure articulates through its design and construction. Arising from limited opportunities but expected to address multi-fold educational challenges, the library is a metaphor that establishes ideas, raises certain pertinent questions on the local-global conflict and raises the bar on how much more a building (and building-programme) can be, beyond the functions attributed to it.

Drawing On The Past To Redefine The Future
In today’s increasingly competitive world, schools are constantly under pressure to provide the best for their students – be it in curriculum or in their physical environment and facilities. This becomes even more pronounced when the students happen to come from around the world, making the school a melting pot of cultures. What, then, is a culturally appropriate design for a school that is inclusive, state-of-the-art, and yet embraces sustainability? As a response to these musings, and catering to the diverse expatriate community in New Delhi’s diplomatic enclave, The British School by Morphogenesis draws inspiration from Indian traditional architectural techniques to offer a truly world-class learning environment that is yet rooted in its context.
