Project: Manaskriti School, Faridabad; Architects: Chromed Design Studio, New Delhi
Located in Faridabad the school is a metal shell smartly adapted and converted into a school building. With one eye focused on details and the other on utilitarianism, the architect believes that a school design should radically rethink both traditional classroom learning as well as the physical arrangement of the designed spaces. Through this institutional design, the architectural team was able to explore a layout that integrated eco-learning and social learning with the conventional classroom idea to expand an experience that goes beyond walls and exists with the natural environment.
The client came to the design team with the brief to convert a metal shell of a 9x9m grid framework into a functional school building. The challenge taken up was to convert the existing 15000sq ft surface into a format of an educational building. The prefabricated structure was retrofitted and a program brief was created for up to middle school level classes.
The school is designed as a G+2 structure with a basement offering access to a multipurpose hall. The layout of the school is done keeping in mind all the requirements and needs of the students regarding studies and physical activities. The school layout is equipped with two tennis courts, one basketball court and volleyball court, a kids' playground, and a running track. The area on the ground floor has mainly been used for the purpose of surface parking.
