Sanjay Puri Architects Designs A Spiral Garden Library For Underprivileged Village Children In Rajasthan

Spiral Garden Library Designed To Beat The Heat of Rajasthan By Sanjay Puri Architects

Creating unusual, functional and sustainable designs has always been the prime approach of Sanjay Puri Architects. In line with this, the firm has recently designed a meandering children’s library and community space for villagers in the rural area of Nokha in Rajasthan. The building is as unique and exceptional as the firm’s other buildings. The architecture of the library is planned in response to the hot arid desert climate of Rajasthan i.e. the southern side is protected by an earth berm with the library & open auditorium towards the northern side of the site. Ar Sanjay Puri has shared detailed info about the project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Read on:

Accessible Roof Garden

The project comprises a gradually sloping roof garden that can be accessed via an open space that elevates eccentrically to create a children’s library towards the north west corner.

Simultaneously a larger series of curvilinear steps descend to form a subterranean open auditorium & community space.

Climate-Responsive Design

Within this small site of 3678 sqm an enclosed space of only 180 sqm for the library, the design creates multiple community spaces which are protected from the harsh desert climate by the way they are configured and allow numerous ways for people to engage in various activities.
