Abstract

In today’s world, education has become very conventional and commercialized. Concerned about the quality of education that has been imparted using the most popular and standardized system of curriculum and testing, the thesis study a system of education where the aim is a holistic development of the child using child-centric strategies. The thesis tries to understand how a holistic learning experience can be provided by architecture. Majority of the schools are unidirectional and mark-based, preparing students only for academics and missing out the basic life skills. The motive of designing a different system is to improve and escalate the education system that is being followed; i.e. to enhance personal growth through experiential learning and increase awareness about various subjects which are no longer given importance. Keeping in mind the demands as per the socio-cultural context, it becomes more desirable to further contextualize construction methodologies and appropriately place the buildings as per the climate.
