THROUGH DIAGRAMS

The idea was to design an academic block cluster where all the classrooms and the peer learning spaces have a very similar experience in terms of visibility, adjacency and accessibility.

Foundational Block Preporatory Block Middle School Block

1st and 2nd grade 3rd, 4th and 5th grade 6th, 7th and 8th grade

The classrooms are intented to have a low value of compactness to aid in peer learning across classrooms, supporting the Montessori school based pedagogy of the block. The classrooms are thus divided by low heighted walls cum bookshelves to support the same.

The classrooms have a wide range of compactness values catering to the different students. The students requiring a more focused place to work could sit in a more compact space This way the teacher could also decide which student should sit in a more ecompact space based on his/her ability to learn.

The middle school block is meant for more focused and classroom based learning. Hence, the compactness values of the classrooms in this block are higher than the other blocks.

*Compactness (Cv) expresses the shape property (relative to a circle) of all space visible from a location. In an isovist field, compactness identifies the regions of plan in which an observer’s spatial experience is contiguously consistent.

Hues Of Riko

I want people to know me by my art someday...

Hues of Riko is an attempt to unleash the creative part of my brain into the world of digital art. I treat it as an escape from my everyday work routine, by illustrating/ cartooning people, places and things. Creating digital art has made me more sensitive and observative towards my surroundings. Through my art I try to capture the emotion and detail we see in our everday lives but fail to take notice. My art thus strives to create a meaningful impact by capturing the tiny emotions from our ordinary lives.
