Abstract:
A smart city is made of up of smart infrastructure and technologies and the first
step towards smart thinking is taken with designing a conducive environment for
learning.
A building design should not end at serving the priority purpose; instead it should
have a multipurpose design which incorporates a diversity of functionality and
use and interaction spaces.
We learn and educate ourselves all through our lives and thus an educational
institute should not only cater to children in their formative years but to people of
all ages at every stage of their lives.
The Naya Raipur Model High School is one such project which looks into the
diversification of uses, multipurpose functionality and integrating the community
with the building as a whole.
Thus the concept and the building design of the school will look into how a
building can be used by different users for multiple activities. Through various
elements of the design the school will cater to the children during daytime but act
as a centre for integration and interaction for the community as a whole.
Interactive spaces are physical spaces with interactivity, areas where a
conducive environment is created for all.
