Reply To: How to masterplan a multi-purpose orphanage/school facilitiy?

[Tanya Olson]

Culturally a textile factory may be a much better prospect than most things orphans have available to them in Pakistan; we just don’t know. Work may be related to family status, systems, relations, regionalism, religion, etc.

I agree absolutely about the cultural relevance of the master plan. Maybe look at villages in Pakistan for master planning precedents or perhaps the Green School in Bali – http://www.greenschool.org/ – they created a campus within the context of village life…not to copy their idea, but to understand how people from outside Bali created the school without trampling the existing culture…???

Good luck – what a wonderful project to be spending your time on!
