The project is based on a reflection on how educational spaces should be nowadays. From this starting point, we begin by creating shade – a roof supported by a flexible, light and open structure that allows for a dialogue between people, nature and architecture. The building adapts to the pre-existing conditions of the site and links the exterior and interior spaces by dissolving their boundaries.

Garden School / JDAP

To learn and grow, she needs an environment that fosters freedom and exploration – these are hard to come by in today’s city. The Garden School in Mumbai is conceived as this protective space, holding off the oppressive conventions and constraints of the city, for a child to be free.
