An exploration of form and function.

My design dissertation from November 2008. 

Proposed Residential School on a 50 acre site in the heart of the suburbs of Mumbai.


Even a fleeting mention of a residential school elicits an image of a resplendent landscape, a seemingly Victorian structure, and a tranquil environment.
Yet the idea of a residential school, right in the heart of a bustling city like Mumbai, is not only an ironical idea as the cliche goes, but also a necessity brought out of practicality.


If money is what keeps Mumbai going, practicality is what keeps it breathing; every aspect of the city is need based, every germination is logic induced, and every process is consequent to a need for convenience.
