Sangam Vidyalaya – The Ganga Valley School Part 2 Project 2025 Nina Gragl University of Liechtenstein | Liechtenstein The project began with a question: how can architecture create a sense of safety, belonging, and opportunity in a place shaped by movement, memory, and imbalance? Rooted in the Himalayan village of Singuni, the proposal for a rural school campus brings together children of different ages in a space that listens before it speaks.Shaped by the site’s terraced topography and natural contours, the project unfolds as a campus rather than a singular building. A sequence of age-specific structures – classrooms, verandas, courtyards, and outdoor thresholds – is carefully arranged across the slope, forming a spatial fabric of connection and distinction. Each space supports a different stage of development, yet all are interwoven through shared circulation and informal zones of encounter.The structural system is based on a contemporary interpretation of Dhajji Dewari, a traditional timber-bracing technique, reimagined to meet seismic challenges while enabling local craftsmanship, clarity in assembly, and long-term maintenance.This thesis explores architecture as a form of care – as structure, gesture, and ground. It does not aim to impose, but to grow from what is already there. A school that protects, connects, and teaches – through its material presence and its spatial generosity. Tutor(s)
