Aspen Academy

The brief for this project was to design a state-of-the-art facility that would serve as an educational hub for the community, with a focus on modern, sustainable design solutions. played a role in learning how to create a cutting-edge educational facility that will serve as a model for sustainable design in the region.

Refining the spaces and blocks , implementing some level differences to make design intresting in final block model focusing on massing and removing courtyard space to provide more ventilation and natural lighting throughout the building. which also maakes building more comfortable and functional for its occupants. assembly area classrooms activity spaces kindergarten classes

Impelmenting zoning to separate primary, kindergarten, activity, and administration spaces. For making building more functional and better circulation and visiual connectivity.

Removing the central part of the school to create a more open and interactive space. This allowed for greater connectivity and visibility between different parts of the building, and created a more welcoming and inviting atmosphere for students and faculty alike. basic form was derived form was derived from the functional requirements of the program, and took into account the site’s unique features and constraints., which served as the foundation for the rest of the project.

The main feature of this project is the two large interaction spaces located in the centre of the school. These spaces are connected by a tree that serves as a focal point and provides natural shading for students and faculty. The circular sitting area around the tree creates a welcoming and communal space where students can gather, socialize, and learn together. The circular sitting area around the tree creates a welcoming and communal space where students can gather, socialize, and learn together.

One of the key design elements of this project is the use of jali screens in several parts of the building. J ali screens were used in areas like classrooms and corridors to create a comfortable and well-ventilated environment for students to learn in. Exposed brick was chosen as the primary material for this project due to its thermal properties and ability to regulate temperature. It helps to keep the building cool by absorbing moisture and releasing it slowly throughout the day.
