The intent was to design a school that aims to help children become critical thinkers who are able to articulate and reason ideologies and emotions. It also intends to encourage children to become opinionated, assertive and to possess their own voice. The school seeks to break the conventional notion of a 'pin-drop silence' classroom environment and allows individuals to possess their own voice and participate in discussions and dialogues. The project looks at two kinds of dialogues, Individual and Collective, where the former one allows for a discussion with one-self and the latter one gives room for discourse between people of varied thought processes and ideologies. Set in a rural background, the project aims to nurture a child's opinions as valuable insights by providing a fluid space that allows for varied possibilities to co-exist. Spaces are designed to promote conversations, community engagement and storytelling as essential tools for learning.Link to the complete portfolio in high-resolution-https://issuu.com/sayleejain_/docs/ug180559_sayleejain_portfolio
