Building a Bio-Climatic school in a remote location with local materials, local labour and low cost was the challenge of this design exercise. We aimed to do more with less by using the existing foundations of the school just by building the outer walls by locally available stone and limestone plaster. The furniture was designed as modules which could be easily precasted and erected at site. By using the dimension 900mm all the basic elements of the school are formed ( windows, doors, furniture.....)
