REIMAGINING THE FUTURE OF LEARNING
November 2025
|Architecture + Design
Birla High School's transformation embodies the evolving landscape of educational architecture, where functionality meets inspiration. The bold redesign prioritises student well-being, sustainability and community engagement
-
The architecture of educational institutions has seen a shift from utilitarian structures to dynamic, student-centric environments that prioritise pedagogy, well-being and community engagement.
The design emphasises the interplay between space, learning and human experience. This paradigm shift in design thinking reflects a growing recognition of the profound impact of the physical environment on not just students but everyone who inhabits the space. With its thoughtful blend of modern design principles and contextual sensitivity, the Birla High School's transformation, led by Architect Ayan Sen, embodies this shift towards student-centric architecture. By prioritising openness, sustainability and community engagement, the design has created a vibrant learning environment that inspires students, teachers and alumni alike. This is more than just a building—it’s a lively and comfortable place to learn, built with heart and a strong belief in improving the future of education in Kolkata.
