Walking in the streets of our locality we often don’t realize what public spaces we have around us. Why don’t we usually know the different learning or activity spaces around us? Is it because we cannot relate to them physically? Or because they are inaccessible? In the time of pandemic, one would have realized the importance to optimize the resources and make them as multifunctional as possible.

The Learning spaces– schools, colleges and educational systems are suffering a lot currently. With time, the views on educational Systems “school” have been changing and now is the time to make them into informal learning spaces– which are beyond the basic learning needs.

The Studio focused on learning spaces which are beyond schooling “multifunctional”, and that have the potential to become the centre in the neighbourhood. Learning spaces were designed for the 5 to 15 years age group. The sites were located in urban and semi-urban areas of the immediate locality of Individual. The Studio helped understand the scale and proportion of the functions as it prepared the students to design spaces with climatic concerns and appropriate construction technology, structural system & material order. It explored the multi-functional aspect of neighbourhood spaces which could be accessible to all.
