The thesis intents to study the alternative future of built forms by using traditional elements and techniques by aiding the current building techniques in semi-arid & arid regions.

A space for the community

The school is as a space for the community, where children are welcome to experience life at a reduced scale. It is a beating heart for the community activities, where elders can teach children how to grow a plant or read them a book. The aim of the design is to make people transmit know-how and children breathe knowledge in every space of the school.

The school of design of the future is a school where practice advocate theory, where students are free to choose according to their needs and desires; where one goes by interest, not by obligation.
