架构师提供的文本描述。Nirma Vidyavihar，Nirma教育倡议

Text description provided by the architects. Nirma VidyaVihar, an initiative of the Nirma Education & Research Foundation (NERF), to explore value-based education through offering an enabling environment for the young minds, to discover and achieve their potential, is situated in Ahmedabad and comprises of pre-primary, primary and middle school sections. The school is equipped with spacious and well-ventilated academic classes, activity rooms, laboratories, curricular and extra-curricular activity spaces. The design follows a very austere geometry, respecting its dignity as an institution, which is carefully inter-woven with bold and playful elements that gives the school its vivacious character. The experience of the school is a carefully crafted journey with spaces free flowing into each other yet directional. The geometry is an amalgamation of straight rectangular functional spaces along with elliptical and free flowing transitions and curvilinear service areas. The designing and planning of the school is an attempt to redefine the experience of the school by eliminating the monotony of a usual school with long corridors and uninteresting vistas.

“自由流动的艺术，毫不费力地与清晰的建筑线条相结合”就是这所学校的写照。学校的壁画和艺术装置，如“马赛克壁画墙”、“废弧线”、“拼图面”和“倒立树”，都与在年轻人心中创造火花的想法结合在一起。从下楼开始，一连串的惊喜层出不穷，五颜六色的台阶把我们引到了热闹的门厅，然后通过“废弧线”向草坪展示了一种视觉上的享受。通道与入口门厅之间的分离是以一种有趣而引人注目的方式发生的，一个正式而清晰的行政入口，一个通往地下室的古雅楼梯，一个大胆的椭圆形门厅，一个带有自己的活力的楼梯箱，将一个人带到了三层高的会议厅。充满活力的“拼图面”朝东的方向，欢迎晨光明媚的晨光，透过剪裁，创造舞蹈的阴影，打破空间的正式概念，给会场提供一个有方向的视野，同时也邀请了一种明亮的质感，将他们的活力传递给学生们。

‘A mélange of free flowing art, effortlessly combining with the crisp lines of architecture’ is what portrays this school. The murals and art installations of the school like ‘the mosaic mural wall’, ‘the scrap arc’, ‘the puzzle façade’ and ‘the inverted tree’ are incorporated with a thought of creating a spark in the young minds. Starting from the drop-off, a series of sequential surprises unfolds, the suave increase in levels, with various colorful steps, draws us to the lively entrance foyer which then opens out to a visual treat of the lawn through the ‘scrap arc’. The separation of paths from the entrance foyer happen in a interesting and dramatic way, a formal and clear entry to the administration, a quaint stair-case towards the basement and a bold elliptical foyer, with a stair-case giving its own share of dynamism, takes one to the triple heighted assembly hall. The orientation of the vibrant ‘puzzle façade’, towards the east, welcomes the unsullied morning sun-light, through the cut-outs, creating dancing shadows, breaking down the formal idea of the space, giving a directional vista to the assembly hall and also inviting a bright texture that passes on their vitality to the students.

开放空间与学校的功能区域无缝融合。沿着教室运行的直线走廊的普通方式变得活泼起来，因为椭圆楼梯和悬索桥，这些桥梁创造了一个视觉连接的所有学校的主要部分，如会议厅，教室，从而增加了学生之间的相互作用的感觉。教室里俯瞰着拼图的正面和三层高的会议厅，创造了视觉上有趣的景色。外面的小庭院提供教室作为互动和溢出活动的空间.

Open spaces seamlessly merge with the functional areas of the school. The mundane approach of linear corridors, running along the class-rooms, becomes lively because of the elliptical stair-case and suspended bridges and these bridges create a visual connectivity with all the major parts of the school like the assembly hall, the class-rooms, thus increasing the sense of interaction among the students. The class-rooms over-look the puzzle façade and the triple height assembly hall creating visual playful vistas. The small court-yards provided out-side the class-rooms serve as spaces of interaction and spill-over activities.
