Building & BaLA Initiatives

Building as Learning Aid (BaLA)
School buildings are meant for children. They are designed for them, yet somehow do not relate
to them in a holistic way. Each component of the school is somehow conceived in isolation, with
little consideration about what the child is finally going to experience as a whole. This work is
about making the building components active facilitator in the whole process of teachinglearning (which is the primary function of the school) for children and teachers (who are the
primary users).
BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) is an innovative concept towards qualitative improvement in
education, through intervention in school building infrastructure.
