ANKITA PARIMANIK
It is the beginning of a story board, hope you’ll enjoy the ride.
Hello! I’m Ankita, a passionate 4th-year architecture student blending creativity and functionality. My journey is fueled by a curiosity about the interplay between space, function, and human experience. I thrive on creating designs that are both fundamental and emotionally resonant.
With a keen interest in spatial hierarchy, geometry, history, ecology, and human psyche, my work harmonizes between space, function, design, and art. I have an inclined interest in research, sketching, 2D graphics, moodboarding, which sometimes invades my design process and outbreaks an creative overflow.

Built with durable, low-maintenance materials and incorporating energy-saving measures, the school fosters intellectual, creative, physical, and social development, aiming to become a nurturing and stimulating benchmark for future educational institutions in Karnataka.
design ideology
Cognitive Development through Architecture Inspired from Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, this school design embodies a dynamic, child-centered environment tailored to the stages of development in a child, i.e, Sensorimotor (2-7 years), Pre-operational (7-12 years), Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational stages. Understanding the significant impact of the built environment on human psychology, our approach integrates spaces that stimulate experimental, social, emotional, physical, and psychological growth. envision a calming, sincere, vibrant, and interactive zones that will foster social interaction, motivate growth of emotional intelligence and intellect, promote physical understanding, and encourage self-perception. Utilizing principles of child psychology, color theory, and architectural forms, we create immersive environments that nurture curiosity and development. Each space is a catalyst for learning and interaction, designed to evolve with the child’s cognitive stages, ensuring a holistic and enriching educational journey.

About facade design As the school will initially adhere to kindergarten, pre schoolers & primary the facade has been created keeping in mind to generate curiosity, calmness and reduce fear or anxiety of one’s mind and to accept the place. Use of soft, bright and primary colors with nature based materials, sustainable and low VOC paints are used- like stucco plasters, clay plasters, lime colour wash, recycled rubber flooring, oak wood claddings are used with double or triple-glazed windows with low-emissivity (low-E), & cool roofs to provide comfort. Also keeping in mind the future expansion of the school the secondary block/ primary block has been design with a contemporary base replica of the pre primary block to look cohesive and inviting.
