The Proposed Design Of Doon Girl’s School Dehradun Reflects The School’s Mission ‘to Enable All Students To Achieve Their Full Potential, Academically, Emotionally, Physically And Spiritually’, Being Laid Out As A Series Of Interconnected Learning Environments Rather Than Factory Like Classroom Compartments. The Irregular Shaped Learning Spaces Are Organized Radially Around A Court Or Activity Centre, With The Infrastructure Areas Pushed To The Periphery. These Little Pods Form A Continuous Cloud Of Built And Open Volumes Spanning Across The Site, Skirting And Incorporating Existing Trees. The Elevation Design Is Inspired By Simple Hand-held Or Mobile Installations, Gently Moving And Rotating With Sun And Wind Movement Thereby Creating A Dynamic Façade With Kinetic Patterns Of Light And Shadow On The Walls. This Is Also In Tune With The School’s Teaching Methodology Involving A More Challenging ‘kinaesthetic Learning’ Rather Than Traditional Lecture Mode.
