AMARAVATI, ANDRA PRADESH
BACKGROUND
ANDHRA PRADESH CAPITAL REGION DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
(APCRDA) invites competitive proposals from reputed and competent bidders to develop following schools in Amaravati with world-class infrastructure and pedagogy standards. The Government of Andhra Pradesh is developing Amaravati as a world class capital city spread over 217 sq.km. Amaravati is being planned as a global economic powerhouse and knowledge hub. The Government of Andhra Pradesh established AP Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) for the purpose of Planning and Development of Capital Region and Capital City Area for the State of Andhra Pradesh.
CRDA invites tenders requesting Request for Proposals (RFP) for developing 3 day schools and 1 boarding school with national curriculum. Under national curriculum, day school and boarding school will be allocated. In addition to national curriculum, CRDA invites RFP for developing 1 day school and 1 boarding school.
PROJECT BRIEF
An International School is a school that promotes school education, in an international environment, either by adopting a curriculum such as International Baccalaureate (IB), Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) or by following a national curriculum different from that of the school's country of residence e.g., American International School in Chennai. International schools provide an opportunity to develop cross cultural understanding, an international outlook and an ability to build quality relationships with people from diverse nationalities. A good international school will have both students and faculty from mixed cultures and nationalities in order to develop a global outlook.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh intends to develop international schools in the new city of Amaravati. Considering the rapid development of Amaravati, there will be demand for new age schooling facilities and infrastructure from the new population expected to move to Amaravati. Within the next 10 years, the population of Amaravati is expected to reach around 4-6 lakhs. Also, as the citizens look to send their children to foreign universities for under-graduate and post-graduate education, reputed national/international schools at Amaravati within the next 5 years could be an excellent stepping stone towards that goal.
AIM
To achieve design excellence and to come up with a prototype design for an international residential school with all functional consideration along with cultural identity to provide a better sense of place and to provide the better landmark building to Andhra Pradesh.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is
To setup world-class educational institute in Amaravati.
To provide optimum connection between elements and spaces, i.e. clear connection of function.
To incorporate advanced technology to design.
The main factor is to see the quality and 'fit for purpose' as the overriding factor.
To achieve the cultural identity in the process of place making.
Time, Cost and Quality are the key criteria's with different priorities at different stages of the project.
METHODOLOGY
THRUST AREA
Standardised school templates as a starting point for improved design.
Embed environmental sustainability principles.
Actively promote the safety and security of students, staff and visitors and minimise security risks.
Make daylighting a priority, especially in classrooms. Daylighting is the controlled admission of natural light into a space. Glare and hot spots can undermine the learning process. Studies show a positive correlation between daylighting and student performance.
Integrate daylighting with high-efficient electric lighting and controls to optimize visual comfort.
Ensure acoustical comfort. Poor classroom acoustics are more than merely annoying, they can disrupt learning.
SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS
Interlocking spatial relationship results from the overlapping of two spatial fields and the emergence of a zone of shared space. When two spaces interlock their volumes in this manner, each retains its identity and definition as a space. But the resulting configuration of the two interlocking spaces is subject to a number of interpretations.
Connectivity - Connect the indoor environment to the outdoors by providing operable view windows in classrooms and easy access from classrooms to gardens and other outdoor areas that can be utilized in the curriculum.
Offer a range of spaces suitable for community use.
To understand the role of architecture and geometrical form applied in designing a school.
Integrate renewable energy strategies, including passive solar design and by using Light shelves in the building.
SITE SELECTION
GENERAL ANALYSIS:
SITE:
AMARAVATI – MASTER PLANArea: 61922.66 m² "15.30 acres
It includes school 10 acres + residential 5.3 acres
CONCLUSION
As a result, world-class schools are being actively promoted to provide world-class education to the students and also as a tool to attract foreign investments to Andhra Pradesh. It is well known fact that availability of such schools is important considerations for non-Indian staff of MNCs who come to India as well fill the gap of quality education required in the region.
