NISHAS PLAY SCHOOL ,GOA AR.GERARD DE CUNHA  THAMEEL SAIFUDHIN SAIFUDHIN NO:36 S9 B.ARCH

AN INNOVATIVE SCHOOL DESIGN WITH LOW EMBODIED ENERGY AND MAXIMIZED USE OF NATURAL VENTILATION AND DAYLIGHTING.

•

•

NISHAS PLAY SCHOOL PRACTISES THE PLAYWAY METHOD OF EDUCATION. IN THIS METHOD EACH CLASSROOM HAD TO HAVE SPACES FOR FORMAL  TEACHING,INFORMAL WORK AND A SEPARATE DOLLS HOUSE WHERE CHILDREN INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.

SITE PLANNING AND BUILDING DESIGN

•

•

•

 THE PLOT HAS A FRONTAGE OF 20M AND A DEPTH OF 0M AND SLOPES DOWN FROM THE ROAD AT AN ANGLE OF 30 DEGREES TILL HALF THE DEPTH AND IS  THEN FLAT. IT IS LOCATED IN A VALLEY AT THE EDGE OF THE FOREST AND HAS A LOT OF TREE COVER MAKING THE SITE RATHER DARK AND POORLY VENTILTED. IT FALLS INTO A WARM HUMID CLIMATE !ONE AND THE  TREES OFFER SHELTER FROM SOLAR RADIATION TO GREAT DEGREES  THE INTRODUCTION OF NATURAL LIGHT AD THE NEED TO INDUCE NATURAL VENTILATION WERE THE TWO PRIME DETERMINANTS IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.

SITE PLANNING •

•

AS THE FLAT AREA WAS COMPLETELY COVERED BY TREES IT WAS LEFT AS  THE PLAYGROUND AND IT WAS DECIDED TO BUILT ON THE SLOPE E"ACTLY BALANCING CUT AD FILL.  THE SIDE SET BACKS WERE 3M ON  THE WEST AND #M ON THE EAST WHICH HELPED TO RETAIN ALL THE  TREES.

BUILDING FORM BESIDES BUILDING AND THE NEED TO KEEP TREES ,THE INTAKE OF ATRIAL LIGHT INTO BUILDING INDUCING BREE!E AND THE NEED TO MA"IMI!E THE USAGE OF SPACE GREATLY DETERMIED THE FINAL FORM.  THE BUILDING REVOLVES AROUND A CIRCUAR CORE,WHICH HAS STAIRS,THE STAIRS,THE CHUTE,AND  THE BELL.

•

•

ROOF  THE ROOF HAS FIVE CUT OUTS AND FIVE DORMERS FOR  THE PURPOSE OF DAY LIGHTING AND VENTILATION .

•

 THE INDUCED VENTILATION ASPECT OF THE DESIGN HAS BEEN MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FAS ARE HARDLY USED

•

USING A FILLER SLAB WITH THE FILLER BEING  THERMOCOLE PACKING OR EMPTY BOTTLES HAS REDUCED THE HEAT INTAKE FROM THE RCC ROOF PERFORATED CONCRETE $ALIS BELOW ROOF SLABS ALSO HELPS IN COOLING THE ROOMS BY INDUCING VENTILATION.  THERE ARE MANY INTAKES AT FLOOR LEVEL ENSURING

•

EMBODIED ENERGY •

•

ANOTHER ASPECT WAS THE LOW ENERGY CONSUMED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING WITH NATURAL STONE AS AN IMPORTANT MATERIAL IN BUILDING. ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS HAVE BEEN RECYCLED AND ALL FORMS OF PLASTER ELIMINATED.

•

WASTE TILES HAVE BEEN USED FOR MANY FLOORS.

•

FILLER SLABS HAVE BEEN USED FOR ROOF CONSTRUCTION.

•
