I’m Ishaa Nadar, a passionate and aspiring interior design student at INDUS UNIVERSITY. Studying in a design school with a focus on Interior design provides a unique and inspiring atmosphere. The vibrant studio spaces are filled with a symphony of colors, materials, and creative energy. Our faculty’s passion for design is palpable, fostering a sense of gratitude and motivation among students. Our studio focused on Institutional design with an initial phase involving the selection of a virgin slum for a case study. 

Subsequently, we conducted research on different types of institutions and specifically studied an Anganwadi’s located in Rancharda. An Anganwadi typically refers to a rural child care center in India, focusing on to contextual study of the surrounding area within a 500-meter radius. From where I’d identified different types of communities, observed their lifestyle, differences of opinion, and daily activities. Subsequently, I’d listed various activities and hobbies, with the goal of designing a space to accommodate these interests, specifically a “Community Engaging Workshop Space.” 

The project aimed to address the specific needs and context of the rural community, incorporating sustainable and locally sourced materials such as bamboo, mud, bricks, lime. The Learning center aimed to be a multifunctional space, fostering community interaction and skill development.
