The design is focused on providing the following – - A health care facility - Education facility - Cultural space The design looks at the above 4 as the central points of focus for the following reasons Healthcare - the nearest basic physic doctor is 10 kilometres away - the nearest diagnosing centre is 30 kilometres away (Sanand) - higher facilities are 30 kilometres away (Ahmedabad) Cultural space - the community celebrates all its festivals individually due to a lack of formalized spaces in their individual lanes - a central space would unify and accommodate future activities which are done on a common scale, and also make way for other celebrations which were not possible earlier. Extension to the school The building along side the road is the extension to the school building which is already present in that village. The school right now is only upto 8th grade, but this building adds to the education level taking it upto 12th grade with an inbuilt library and study rooms for all the students across.
