Farming kindergarten
Members : Ankita , Bhagyashree , Saloni , Simran , Shashwati
Concept :
1. The building was designed to fit the trapezoid shaped land.
2. The team came up with the idea of using a triple knot design that
mimics the infinity symbol
Motive :
1. To bringing students closer to the nature by linking to the
rooftop garden
2. And learn to grow their own food in the outstanding
outdoor garden
Feature :
1. The building was designed to fit the trapezoid shaped land
2. The green roof is a triple-ring shape drawn with a single stroke, encircling three courtyards inside as
safe playgrounds.
3. Only 3450 sq meters has been used out of the total floor area of 10650 sq m
1. There are 11 classrooms on the ground and first floors for around 250 students.
2 The roof is designed as a three dimensional strip with gentle slope, connected to the courtyards - the main
playground for children - at both ends. Thanks to the from of this roof, The fluidity of activities is achieved,
which naturally lead children to the vegetable garden roof.
● The sloping roof creates an ideal section for the gymnasium due to its high ceiling.
it won multiple top honors including [the 2015 building of the year award] -
The Architecture website Arch Daily .
● The knotted shape of the plan allowed classrooms to be arranged in
sequence on both floors, accessed via corridors that trace around the
building's inner perimeter.
● As the roof lowers to the courtyard it provides access to the
upper level and vegetable gardens on top- the place where
children learn the importance of agriculture and recover
connection to nature.
