What does it mean to design a school in a urbanities like here?
Schools are not mere places of education in south asian cities. When a modern architecture of education landed in communitarian urban landscape of south asia, they never remained programmatically insular for activities of the school. Rather, these places were seen as spatial resource for conducting a range of community activities for which an an architectural enclosure brought security. These activities included interests of both - the state and the local community. Thus, from election booths, to vaccination administering centers to training and political speech grounds, schools also extended to facilitate marriages, prayer meetings, large celebratory events, and so on.
