THESE MADRASAS WERE THE SOURCE OF TODAY’S MODERN PHILOSOPHY, ASTRONOMY, CARTOGRAPHY, AGRONOMY, MATHEMATICS AND MEDICAL SCIENCE IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE WORLD AT THE ZENITH OF THE ISLAMIC KINGDOM. TODAY, MADRASA BALANCE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION WITH THE STUDY OF SECULAR SUBJECTS. THEY AID IMPOVERISHED FAMILIES SEEKING EDUCATION, FOOD, AND HOUSING FOR THEIR CHILDREN. MADRASAS, IN MOST MUSLIM COUNTRIES TODAY, MADRASAS EXIST AS PART OF A BROADER EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. ON THE WHOLE, THESE RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS ARE SUPPORTED BY PRIVATE

THE DESIGN OF THE MADRASAS LIKE ANY OTHER ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAS INFORMED BY ISLAMIC RULES AND PRINCIPLES AND REFLECTS THE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC VALUES OF THE MUSLIM SOCIETY.

OVER THE CENTURIES, WE HAVE WITNESSED CERTAIN SPACES BEING GIVEN SPECIAL PRIORITIES BASED ON PEOPLE’S BELIEFS AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. AS THE MAIN PURPOSE OF A MADRASA IS TO IMPART EDUCATION, EDUCATIONAL SPACES HAVE BEEN PRIORITISED OVER THE OTHER SPACES. THIS IS EVIDENT FROM THE LEVEL OF ORNAMENTATION OVER DOOR, WINDOWS, CORNICES, AND ROOF. THE CLASSROOMS, CENTRAL HALL AND THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY ORNAMENTED WHILE THE OTHER SPACES ARE SIMPLE AND MODEST.

THE BUILDING VOLUME IS A T SHAPED MASS WITH A CAVITY AT IT’S CENTER. THIS CAVITY IN THE FORM OF A COURTYARD ACT’S AS A DIVIDING SPACE BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATION ZONES. THIS CAVITY IS ALSO A DATUM OF THE SPACE AND IS VISIBLE FROM ALMOST ALL THE SPACES, ESTABLISHING VISUAL CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE VARIOUS ZONES. THE MORE ORNAMENTTED FRONT BLOCK COVERS UP THE NOT SO INTRICATELY DONE LATTER HALF AND THUS, THE APPEAL OF THE WHOLE IS NOT LOST. .
