• The school is made of regionally available stone- Dabri veneer
and Jodhpur
•
• Local craft and tradition informed its main features, including a
parapet wall that reinvents the jali screen (a privacy device for
women) and circulates air while keeping out sand and direct
sunlight.
•
• The building's orientation also helps mitigate intense solar gain
while maximizing prevailing wind.

• And to harness that solar energy in one of the hottest places on

Earth, a PV array is installed on the roof
•
• High windows are provided to minimize the glare on
blackboards.
