Gaunshaha - School

Shamser the person we are staying with is the head master of a small private school, 80 students. His dream is to start a free private school for the bright young children from poor family's.
He does not agree with the state system and it's methods.
So some German guy has funded 6000 euros to build it.
We happen to be here when the land was bought and am suddenly involved in lots of discussions on design. He likes the new ideas which are based on simple design but smart around warmth, using glass rubbish, acoustic dampening using thatching etc
Will up date as the design develops!

  1. What direction is south? How big does each classroom need to be? (how many children, are they in rows of chairs or grouped around tables?) What needs to fit in the office (no. of people, desks, shelves, cabinets). Classroom 1 will get very different sun than the others, I think. What activities happen in the middle space between the covered walkway and playground? Is the land perimeter area drawn accurately? (and is it able to be changed or is it a given?) Answers will enable me to make more constructive suggestions.
