Text description provided by the architects. The Vaulted School is an initiative from Rajshri Deshpande, Founder of the Nabhangan Foundation. Working in the fields of rural regeneration & community building to empower villages to self-reliance. A school is built just minutes away from Dhorkin Tanda, a hamlet in Maharashtra inhabited by sugarcane-cutting labor near Paithan, Aurangabad. The hamlet had one school accommodating a total of 30 students, which was dilapidated. What the old structure lacked, the new structure had it hacked: ample lighting and ventilation achieved with the help of vaulted roofs, a stand-alone sanitation facility, a kitchen for mid-day meals, and an overall conducive environment for knowledge to reside in and foster the ‘play and learn’ ideology.
