Commenter says Indian school is "the greatest architecture" they have seen
In this week's comments update, readers are wowed by an oval-shaped school for girls in India and sharing their views on other top stories.
New York-based studio Diana Kellogg Architects looked to symbols of femininity for its design of a school in India made from local sandstone.
The Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls' School was built in the Thar Desert in the north of India to educate and teach over 400 girls between the ages of five and 16.
The studio created a fort-like structure based on nearby sand-dunes that would blend into and grow out of the landscape.
"Project of the year"
Readers are impressed. "Sublime project," said Band. "Gorgeous photography by Vinay Panjwani."
Zealous Advocate agreed: "This is the greatest architecture I've seen on here in a long time." "Project of the year," added JZ, "absolutely gorgeous. It takes an immense level of discernment to reify a simple concept like this without corrupting it. Amazing job by all."
"Great project and wow design," concluded Sergey Ioffe. "A little castle of knowledge and care."
