Hilltop School Bright Horizon Academy / Design Aware
A charity school that had been run by a zakah-funded, nonprofit educational trust for the last six years finally required a building. The site is located on a hill top, in the unplanned settlement within the walls of the Golconda fort in Hyderabad. The project was riddled with multiple challenges. Since the school is run solely based on individual donations, the budget was extremely tight. Material choices had to be economical as well as durable. The site is highly contoured and covered with sheet rock and buried under a blanket of garbage piled on over decades. Articulating the peculiar and difficult topography of the site and its surrounds posed a major challenge: due to proximity to heritage structures and dense urban context, most of which is residential, blasting the rock was not an option, and other methods were not affordable.
