REFERENCE FACADE – AMET School by Nuru Karim
The ‘AMET school’ is a 6,500 sq.m international school located in Lonavala, Maharashtra, India. The architects, inspired by the picturesque hillside of the site, designed the undulating facade, build up of rib-like fins, which frame and release views, thus directly engaging with the setting.
Karim’s multi-storey design aims to serve as a visual marker within the area. The main facade is made up of a series of vertical fin elements that cover the complete length of the structure. By subtly shifting these elements in shape and profile, the facade provides solar shading and varying light conditions within the interior.
