 Project Brief
Edexcsl based education which
Buddhi follows required spaces
organized differently from
conventional schools following
regular Indian syllabi, and also
allowed for flexibility in the
design. Buddhi encourages
inclusive education and children
with special abilities are welcomed
and cared for. The school thus
needed to be completely
accessible. The school's intake is
kept very low and total occupancy
is 200 children.
