This volume documents a significant shift in institutional architecture, moving away from rigid, standardized building blocks toward Context-Sensitive and Vernacular Architecture. Based on real-world implementations across various Indian states under the DPEP, it presents a rich portfolio of innovative Space Planning for classrooms and resource centres. The designs prioritize the Micro-context of rural environments, utilizing local materials and traditional building practices to optimize thermal comfort, lighting, and spatial flow. It serves as an essential reference manual for architects, urban/rural planners, and students focusing on Social Infrastructure, Low-Cost Sustainable Design, and Community-Centric Architecture.
