Jury Citation: Doing minimum to create a resonance in the society is appreciable. To start from the story of the school, as an anchor and a place to connect with the community around is interesting. This unique thought process of the Architect makes the school, a public place in this small village community. The contribution to the children of the society will create a compounding impact to the society in the future as they grow up. The wall acts as a backdrop to both inside and outside space and as a medium. It holds life and it is magical architecture. Architecture is no more servant of the rich. This is an illustration of the power of architecture as a political instrument in the hands of a sensitive designer.
