The Hindi expression “saans seekhana” can be translated to “breathe to learn”. In Hindu philosophy the breath represents the central life energy and plays a significant role in Indian culture. However, being able to breathe clean air in India is not a commodity but a luxury. The country is facing big challenges when it comes to air pollution. Children are especially vulnerable because their immune defence mechanisms are still developing. A safe and clean environment for children at school is therefor absolutely essential. This new school proposal taps into future learning concepts that call for greater independence among pupils while raising awareness to the problem of air pollution in Delhi and its impacts on children. Through cleaning the indoor as well as the outdoor air the project creates a space that benefits not only the school children but also the neighbourhood around.
