The New school building finds its roots in the structuralist way of plan making on modules and connectors. The different scales of the courtyards make the place. The classrooms are organized around the existing neem trees that are roughly 60 to 70 years old, creating an interval of shaded courtyard after each classroom. The shaded courtyards thus become the breakout spaces and the unprogrammed open spaces that are left to students’ imagination to utilize. The central court becomes the arrival court as well as the gathering of open space that can be used for functions and school events.
