This was the our first design exercise.Ever. We were supposed to design a playschool in a given plot in Sujan Singh Park, new Delhi.
The main emphasis of the project lay in providing a safe haven for the kids. Hence two different kinds of play areas have been provided, one in the courtyard of the school, which is under strict supervision of the teachers, whilst the main play ground is bigger and outside the building area.
Another important concept was to provide the kids with a more 'circular' room, than the usual classroom because it facilitates better interaction, both between the kids and the teachers , and amongst the kids as well. The furniture design is modular, and can be quickly arranged in different layouts to achieve flexibility for various group activities and can be totally removed for nap time.
