    This document describes the design of Nisha's Play School in Goa, which aims to maximize natural ventilation and daylighting while minimizing embodied energy. The school building is designed around a central circular core, with five cutouts and dormers in the roof to allow light and ventilation. The building takes advantage of the sloped site by balancing cut and fill during construction. Various materials reuse strategies and natural building materials help reduce the embodied energy of the building.

    NISHAS PLAY

    SCHOOL ,GOA
    AR.GERARD DE CUNHA
    THAMEEL SAIFUDHIN
    NO:36 S9 B.ARCH

    AN INNOVATIVE SCHOOL DESIGN WITH LOW EMBODIED


    ENERGY AND MAXIMIZED USE OF NATURAL VENTILATION
    AND DAYLIGHTING.
    NISHAS PLAY SCHOOL PRACTISES THE PLAYWAY METHOD OF EDUCATION.
    IN THIS METHOD EACH CLASSROOM HAD TO HAVE SPACES FOR FORMAL
    TEACHING,INFORMAL WORK AND A SEPARATE DOLLS HOUSE WHERE
    CHILDREN INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.

    SITE PLANNING AND BUILDING DESIGN


    THE PLOT HAS A FRONTAGE OF 20M AND
    A DEPTH OF 40M AND SLOPES DOWN
    FROM THE ROAD AT AN ANGLE OF 30
    DEGREES TILL HALF THE DEPTH AND IS
    THEN FLAT.
    IT IS LOCATED IN A VALLEY AT THE EDGE
    OF THE FOREST AND HAS A LOT OF TREE
    COVER MAKING THE SITE RATHER DARK
    AND POORLY VENTILTED. IT FALLS INTO A
    WARM HUMID CLIMATE ZONE AND THE
    TREES OFFER SHELTER FROM SOLAR
    RADIATION TO GREAT DEGREES
    THE INTRODUCTION OF NATURAL LIGHT
    AD THE NEED TO INDUCE NATURAL
    VENTILATION WERE THE TWO PRIME
    DETERMINANTS IN ARCHITECTURAL
    DESIGN.

    SITE PLANNING
    AS THE FLAT AREA WAS COMPLETELY
    COVERED BY TREES IT WAS LEFT AS
    THE PLAYGROUND AND IT WAS
    DECIDED TO BUILT ON THE SLOPE
    EXACTLY BALANCING CUT AD FILL.
    THE SIDE SET BACKS WERE 3M ON
    THE WEST AND 5M ON THE EAST
    WHICH HELPED TO RETAIN ALL THE
    TREES.

    BUILDING FORM
    BESIDES BUILDING AND THE NEED TO KEEP TREES ,THE
    INTAKE OF ATRIAL LIGHT INTO BUILDING INDUCING
    BREEZE AND THE NEED TO MAXIMIZE THE USAGE OF
    SPACE GREATLY DETERMIED THE FINAL FORM.
    THE BUILDING REVOLVES AROUND A CIRCUAR
    CORE,WHICH HAS STAIRS,THE STAIRS,THE CHUTE,AND
    THE BELL.

    ROOF
    THE ROOF HAS FIVE CUT OUTS AND FIVE DORMERS FOR
    THE PURPOSE OF DAY LIGHTING AND VENTILATION .
    THE INDUCED VENTILATION ASPECT OF THE DESIGN HAS
    BEEN MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FAS ARE HARDLY USED
    USING A FILLER SLAB WITH THE FILLER BEING
    THERMOCOLE PACKING OR EMPTY BOTTLES HAS
    REDUCED THE HEAT INTAKE FROM THE RCC ROOF
    PERFORATED CONCRETE JALIS BELOW ROOF SLABS ALSO
    HELPS IN COOLING THE ROOMS BY INDUCING
    VENTILATION.
    THERE ARE MANY INTAKES AT FLOOR LEVEL ENSURING
    THAT THE WHOLE BUILDING GETS VENTILATED

    EMBODIED ENERGY
    ANOTHER ASPECT WAS THE LOW ENERGY CONSUMED IN THE CONSTRUCTION
    OF THE BUILDING WITH NATURAL STONE AS AN IMPORTANT MATERIAL IN
    BUILDING.
    ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS HAVE BEEN RECYCLED AND ALL FORMS OF
    PLASTER ELIMINATED.
    WASTE TILES HAVE BEEN USED FOR MANY FLOORS.
    FILLER SLABS HAVE BEEN USED FOR ROOF CONSTRUCTION.
    MATERIALS
    LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE WITH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RCC BANDS FOR
    EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION
    RANDOM RUBBLE LATERITE MASONRY CEMENT MORTAR
    EXPOSED 9INCH BRICK WORK TO MAXIMIZE SPACE
    RCC WITH VARIOUS FILLER BOTTLES FOR ROOFING AND FOORING.
    MOSTLY RECYCLED OLD DOORS AND WINDOWS,GRILLS,BRICK JALIS.
    RED OXIDE FLORING IN CLASSROOMS AND CHINA MOSAIC IN OPEN AREAS
