SITE STRATEGY
 Activating void space by introducing program and by doing visually appealing
landscaping and by creating convivial enclosure . The churchyard garden would be
designed keeping in mind the human scale, feel of space.
Creating the safe pedestrian connectivity.
 Inking the station and all the opportunities together.
 Interactive safe and space with full activities. Further space should have the program
attached to it with flexibility to adapt.
 Continuity of activities, the activities should be arranged in coherent manner to series
of activities so that people have option to use particular space.
 Hierarchy of open spaces with programming. The open spaces designed should have
hierarchy like series of smaller squares merging in to bigger square.
 Increasing permeability of the area with links enclosing the squares and plaza giving
Increasing permeability of the area with links enclosing the squares and plaza giving
options to people for using the space.

Current research into teaching and learning pedagogy
highlights the importance of ‘informal learning’. learning
occurs as results from unexpected interactions among
individuals can be termed as informal learning. Another
significant aspect of learning is seen in the shift from
individual learning to group learning. However, the
translation of this literature relating informal and group
learning to spatial design is rarely discussed. While
recent studies have recognised that communal and
informal learning spaces are key components of what
has been called the ‘Learning Landscape’, no thorough
study has been undertaken to examine this in urban
design terms.
