I am honestly mind blown by this school I found out about today located in Jaisalmer!
The school is called “Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls’ school” also called “Gyaan Centre”!
It’s not only a school giving girls an opportunity for quality education but it is also an architectural marvel!

Diana Kellogg, designed the entire school paying tribute to the local colours, art and environment.
Due to the climate, the building considers the local typology of jalis, natural light, ventilation and thermal protection in simple but effective ways!

There’s something beautiful and extremely touching that the architect says about her work in context of India👇🏽🇮🇳
“India is a country built on chaos, in constant motion and evolution. If an architect can step into this energy instead of fighting it, their work will flourish. It's a kind of a spiralling energy, which is quite different from the linear Western way of working.”
Fun fact: Sabyasachi even designed the uniforms!
