Open spaces in schools are known to foster creativity with the immediate area outside the classrooms to serve as an extension of learning experience. Large spaces are intended for both informal and formal gatherings. The whole idea of the school is to provide a peaceful environment for learning.
The non programmatic spaces like shaded spaces under a tree, a small alcove within the wall, extended corridors used as a space for interaction , reading, etc. All these spaces are the heart of the school related to the physical and emotional needs of the student evoking creativity among them.
