Design Approach (Biophillic design, Biomimetic design, origamic design, bioclimatic

design, etc.)
Concern (Climate-change, Energy consumption, Water scarcity, Specially abled people,
Peace/War, Disasters, Gender bias, etc.)
Issue (Battered women, Heritage deterioration, Flooding, Drug addiction, Illness, etc.)

Ferro cement, Fabric, etc.)
Structural Exploration (Long span structures, Kinetic facades, Tensile structures,
Tensegrity structures, Floating structures, etc.)

6. 2. Brief explanation of the Theoretical Premise (1st in the Priority List) *

To design a learning environment which has a spiritual approach towards education for
students with the use of Biophilic Design which is the concept used within the building to
increase occupant connectivity to natural environment through the use of direct and indirect
use of nature.

7. 3. Brief explanation of the Theoretical Premise (2nd in the Priority List) *

Vernacular style- As the project is to be build close to Ram Mandir in order to capitalize on
local knowledge and tradition, easily avaibility of local construction material could be used, it
would also resemble to the site context .
