Gather Under: Adaptable Anganwadi Spaces in Vanjaravaas

Amonsgt organised living clusters in the Vanjaravaas settlement in Ahmedabad, the design proposal is for a new, easily assemblable structure that is to function as the community’s angaanwadi. The project has a few goals overall: To create an environment based on variations and features in Ahmedabad’s climate that can be conducive to community use- primarily learning and classroom engagement as occurring in the current angaanwadi- and to do so as simply as possible in terms of constructional assembly and disassembly. The main concerns climatically, are ventilation and daylighting.
