Social Learning

The design intends to achieve a correspondent model in terms of the learning process while providing a unique and fruitful experience to the students of different ages. The space syntax methods (DepthMapX, Isovists) were used to extensively analyze the iterations of the design, and understand the experience of different people using the key spaces in the school. The school has different clusters of classrooms at varying proximity from the staff room, such that the junior students are closely guided and supervised, whereas the senior students have greater autonomy over the spaces around their classes.
