the campus seems to be built under a group of enormous fallen leaves, made of natural locally sourced materials and labor that create an
all around sustainable and comfortable low-impact facility. plentifully available bamboo rods of varying sizes are used for columns and
make up the entire roof structure with a playful interweaving of structurally sound geometries anchored into large rock foundations in
the ground. walls of compressed earth dotted with bottles delineate classrooms filled with natural light, with the large canopies hovering
over all the rooms for a shaded, ventilated and comfortable learning environment. the organic shapes and material palette bring the children
and teachers closer to nature in a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by rice fields. the premises is equipped to collect and recycle waste water,
grow it’s own crop, and produce bio-gas.
