KLE SANSKRUTI

PRE-PRIMARY
SCHOOL
ARCHITECTS: SHREYAS PATIL
ARCHITECTS
AREA : 24000 FT²
AGE – 3-6 YRS 
SANSKRUTI SCHOOL IS AN EXCLUSIVE
PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL FOR AN
ALREADY EXISTING SCHOOL CAMPUS
AT GOKAK. 
THE PLANNING PHILOSOPHY IS
DIRECTED BY CONSIDERING THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL
NEEDS OF KINDERGARTEN
CHILDREN WHO HAVE TENDENCIES
TO EXPLORE SPACES WITH EXCITING
AVENUES AND COLORFUL VISTAS
WITH MINIMUM BOUNDARIES. 
A TRIANGULAR-SHAPED PIECE OF
LAND SANDWICHED BETWEEN AN
EXISTING SCHOOL BUILDING ON THE
NORTH, A SET OF PLAYGROUNDS ON
THE EAST AND WEST SIDES, AND THE
CAMPUS PROPERTY EDGE ABUTTING
THE CITY’S VEHICULAR ROAD ON
THE SOUTH WAS IDENTIFIED AS AN
APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR A NEW
PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL BUILDING,
CRAFTING THE ELEVATION FOR THE
ENTIRE CAMPUS AS IT STANDS IN THE
FOREGROUND OF THE EXISTING
CERTAIN CLIMATIC CONCERNS HAVE PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN
DESIGNING THIS BUILDING IN GOKAK, A WARM AND ARID
CITY. 
THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE SITE IS CHOSEN TO
ACCOMMODATE ALL THE CLASSROOMS, SUCH THAT ITS
OPENINGS ARE FREE FROM THE HARSH GLARE OF THE SOUTH. 
ALL THE ACTIVITY SPACES, CORRIDORS, STAIRCASES,
COURTYARDS, ADMIN STAFF, AND ACTIVITY ROOMS ARE
PLACED FACING SOUTH WHICH ACTS AS A BUFFER FROM
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND SUMMER HEAT, ENCOURAGING
STUDENTS TO LEARN AND GROW IN NATURALLY LIT AND
A TRIPLE HEIGHT COURT
FORMED BY CROSSING THESE
SPACES GENERATES AN
EFFECTIVE STACK EFFECT,
REDUCING THE NEED FOR
ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION
AND COOLING SYSTEMS. 
THE PLINTH LEVEL OF THE
SCHOOL IS CONTOURED IN
RESPONSE TO THE SITE
CONTEXT. 
THE PRIMARY ENTRANCE TO
THE ATRIUM AND
THE BASEMENT FLOOR IS A
DIRECT ENTRY FROM
THE SOUTH.
AN AMPHITHEATER ON THE
EAST FACING THE
PLAYGROUND ACTS AS
ANOTHER STAIRWAY
AT THE ENTRY LEVEL ON THE GROUND FLOOR, THREE ENTRY LEADING UP TOWARDS
NURSERY CLASSROOMS, A PRINCIPAL’S CABIN, AND A CRAFTS ROOM THE ATRIUM.
ARE PLANNED AROUND A CENTRAL ATRIUM. A RAMP RUNNING
PARALLEL TO THIS ASSISTS
DIRECT ACCESS TO THE
BASEMENT IS CAVED IN FROM
THE ATRIUM OF THE
BUILDING FOR LARGER
GATHERINGS OF STUDENTS
CLASSROOMS FOR LKG
STUDENTS, A STAFF ROOM,
AND A MULTIPURPOSE
ACTIVITY ROOM ARE
LOCATED ON THE FIRST
FLOOR. LIKEWISE,
CLASSROOMS FOR UKG
STUDENTS, A DAY BEDROOM,
AND A TOY ROOM ARE
LOCATED ON THE SECOND
FLOOR. ON EVERY FLOOR, A
TOILET BLOCK IS
ACCOMMODATED AT THE
REAR SIDE OF THE BUILDING
WHERE TWO GRIDS OF
CLASSROOMS INTERSECT
MAKING IT CONVENIENT TO
ACCESS FROM ALL.
THE ARCHITECTURAL LANGUAGE OF OPENNESS, CONTINUITY, SECURITY, VIBRANCY, AND UNITY IS
CHOREOGRAPHED THROUGHOUT BY THE THOUGHTFUL POSITIONING OF THE COURTYARDS,
CLASSROOMS, STAIRCASES, CORRIDORS, AND DOUBLE-HEIGHT SPACES WHICH CONNECT STUDENTS
ACROSS GRADES. 
IN RESPONSE TO THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGULAR SITE, THREE BLOCKS ARE LOOPED INTO EACH OTHER
ENVELOPING ALL THE SPACES AROUND A CENTRAL TRIPLE-HEIGHT COURTYARD. 
THE CIRCULAR WINDOWS AND THE COLORFUL BRISE-SOLEIL IN SHADES OF YELLOW AND RED ARE A
METAPHOR FOR THE KINDERGARTEN KIDS' NAIVENESS, CHILDLIKE AND ENERGETIC NATURE. THIS
CELEBRATION OF ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES RUNS IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING FRAMING THE
INDOORS AND OUTDOORS THROUGH THESE FANCY FENESTRATIONS. 
INFERENCE
SPACE AND FUNCTION PLANNING ACCORDING TO PYSCHOLOGY AND PHYSICAL NEED
KIDS HAVE TENDENCY TO EXPLORE SPACES AND COLORS
SPACIOUS PLANNNING
COLORS ENHANCE SPACES
CLASSROOMS AT NORTH-EAST TO AVOID HARSH SUNLIGHT AND ALL THE TRANSITION SPACES
(ACTIVITY SPACES, CORRIDORS, STAIRCASES, COURTYARDS, ADMIN STAFF, AND ACTIVITY ROOMS) ARE
SOUTH FACING WHICH ACTS AS AN BUFFER SPACE FOR HARSH SUN AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
USE OF BRISE-SOLEIL TOWARDS SOUTH
DUE TO TRIPLE HEIGHT VOID IN THE CORE FORMING AN ATRIUM, STACK EFFECT IS CREATED WHICH
TAKES CARE OF ARTIFICIAL VENTILATION AND COOLING SYSTEM.
SITE PLINTH WORKS WITH THE SITE CONDITION RATHER THAN WORKING AGAINTS IT
RAMP FOR UNIVERSAL ACCESS
LARGE WIDE SPACES FOR ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
VOLUMES USED TO CREATE INTERESTING SPACES WITH PROPER CONNECTIVITY
CENTRAL ATRIUM ACTS LIKE A CORE TO THE STRUCTURE
