The buildings have been designed around the 76 existing trees on site thus showcasing the importance of
preserving bio diversity that has been there much longer than the buildings. The trees ensure adequate shading and
oxygen for the occupants, creating a sense of wonder of being amidst vegetation from the very first day of classes.
The multiple buildings provide the students and teachers the much needed visual and physical connect to nature,
necessitating them to come outside to experience the site between classes. Courtyards and cut-outs have been
provided in the buildings in order to accommodate existing trees.
The natural breezeway from the south in Chennai has been capitalized upon by providing continuous access all through
the site. The organic, flowing building forms not only accommodate the organic nature of the existing vegetation but
also provide students a sense of visual and physical freedom.
