架构师提供的文本描述。简短的是遵循Waldorf教育系统的意图，但在泰米尔纳德族教育委员会制定的“拜拜法”范围内。Waldorf系统非常强调以儿童为中心的教育，这种教育在精神、身体和心理方面给予了比学者更多的动力。

Text description provided by the architects. The brief was to follow the intent of Waldorf system of Education but be within the bye laws laid by the Tamil Nadu Board of education. Waldorf system stresses hugely on child centric education wherein more impetus is given on mental, spiritual, physical and psychological than only the academics.

因此，在提供传统教室的同时，增加了足够的空间和细节，使幼儿园和小学侧(即目前的第一阶段)能够适应和鼓励以活动为基础的小组学习。一个单独的教室有三个空间-一个教师带黑板和座位的空间，圈出集体活动的区域，墙壁上有悬挂儿童作品和角落的设施，供个人思考。

So while conventional classrooms are provided there is ample space and details added to make the kindergarten and primary wing, which is the present first phase, to accommodate and encourage activity based group learning. An individual classroom has three spaces- a space where teacher leads with the blackboard and seating, circled areas where group activity occurs with walls provided with facility to hang works of children and nooks which allow for individual contemplation.

游戏是系统中非常重要的一部分。Coimbatore是一个炎热的气候游乐空间，也被引入建筑内，从而使孩子们在任何时候都能接触到这些空间。洞穴和异乎寻常的照明空间，如通过jalis，允许探索和创造幻想。室内周围的露天剧场鼓励孩子们即兴表演。

Play is a very important part of the system. Coimbatore being a hot climate play spaces have been brought in within the building too thereby making them accessible to children at all times. Caves and unusually lit spaces like through jalis allow for explorations and creation of fantasy. An open air theatre within the interior environs encourages the children to create impromptu acts.

在创造学习空间的同时，我们尝试拓展我们探索生态问题的界限。由于地下室作为教室是不允许的，所以我们决定把教室和游乐空间都建在离公路1.5米的地方，这样我们就可以得到建筑所需的土壤。整个屋顶的水都被收集起来并储存起来，同时充电。这座建筑完全可以通过坡道到达。它是白天照明和通风被动。

While a learning space is created we tried new to stretch our boundaries of exploring the ecological issues. Since basements as classrooms were not allowed we decided to get the classrooms as well as play spaces to be close to 1.5 meters below the road level whereby the soil for construction was sourced. The entire roof's water is harvested and stored as well as recharged. The building is completely accessible by a ramp. It is day lit and ventilated passively.
