In my 10th Semester of architecture school, Proyecto Asilo, a firm based in Spain, took up the challenge to construct a school made out of reused waste materials in a slum redevelopment project in Thanisandra, Bangalore.
I was fortunate to be selected to lead the volunteer initiative. For the project we used only discarded materials, our intervention was to create for the children a sustainable and well ventilated school. Our Project was featured in the Bangalore Mirror, a popular daily culture paper.
The resulting outcome was of happy children who laughed and played in a space completely reimagined to their needs and usage.
