India's first completely sustainable building. 

Makes our country green and clean.
We are building a school for specially challenged children with disabilities mental or physical, which lead them not able to comfortably fit in the normal school, this children need a different and more friendly environment. 
Versatile scholar building is made of used all organic materials like natural wood,mud rammed in used tyre,empty glass bottle, aluminium can, these wastes provide a sustainable building in a lesser cost.
Versatile Scholars

We started constructing this school building keeping in mind for complete sustainability.
This building is completely sustainable and india's first net-zero energy module.
As we use tyres for building the exterior walls by filling and ramming them, Mud Rammed Tyre(MRT) walls provides us the strength and insulation from the outer atmospheric temperature. 
Tyre jacket is made of strong rubber reinforced of metal mesh,
At the shock, It stands still at its place , elasticity of tyres and compression of rammed earth inside tyres, tie these units to merge together to provide a strong interlocked structure.

Rammed earth is a single unit, if inside the jacket mud becomes single unit, due to the removing the maximum inter-molecular space by itself,
mud particle is the fundamental particle of existence,containing everything.
This structural walls is further plastered to provide a organic surface, this plaster is the mix of mud, straw, stone, cement  and fixation compounds whichever reduce the concrete consumptions lowering the carbon footprint of the building. Carbon footprint of the building is lowered to 5% of the total material used.

Wood-concrete hybrid multi-level structure inside one roof connected with ramps and short staircases provide a friendly and challenging environment and work-ability to the students to recover from their disabilities, Natural material selection is made for therapeutic behaviour of the enclosures.
Wooden walls inside provides these children to study into the natural surfaces and develop psychologically stable and friendly to the school.
Disorders which cause them to agitate in the school are healed with the help of organic forms inside the building, organic form of the structure provides them a space to absorb and connect mentally.
Classrooms are divided in the manner to provide the individual and group sessions of various kinds to various type of children. Every child into the building is different they need a different set of activities and education methods, which can be provided into different spaces. Specially designed for the purpose.
Whole structures contains one roof which proceeds to mezzanine wooden slabs inside,
 MAIN ROOF
is made up of wooden logs, which has core columns and beams, fixed together with galvanized iron nut and bolts, providing structural strength to the roof and bind together all the columns and walls, succeeded with the bamboo mesh make it directional faces to the sun and exteriors, then this roof is cover with 1 foot thick compressed thatch which makes the roof lighter and insulated , covering this surface with mortar of cement, sand, and fixation compounds makes the roof water proof and organic in surface.Main roof consists 11inches circular glass skylights fetching natural lights into the class rooms and interior spaces, in the required amount.Main floor is divided into three levels , with the scrape stones like granite, kota, marble, etc to make a mosaic surface get organic patterns in the floor.
This building is supported with 5 Kv of solar panels, which produces electricity more than 300 days a year. Whole building consumes only 3Kv electricity, which is free, because of the temperature reduction due to the insulation of MRT walls and thatch roofing.

Veronoic form of the roof provides the warm air to get out of the building through the central skylight  pushed by the cooled air entering through the sides of the MRT wall’s Earth tube ventilators, which uses no electrical consumption and cool down the warm air just passing through it. It happens due to the pressure increment of the flowing air from outside.
Outer surface has a soft play area, with swings and slides , accommodating buses and car access to the building.

Half of the funds have been funded by school's Principal Mrs. Veena Purwar, and few other schools in the city.
A amount of Rs.30 lac is to collect to finish the school profoundly.
Abstract estimation costs of finishing things floorings, partitions ,electricity, solar panels,civil work, miscellaneous.
I'm Ashwani, the architect of the project. Veena is the principal of the school.
