The School of indirect light was made for a village situated in the Rajasthan state of India.

 The site has a 68000 square feet and it has regular shape and no inclination. The building is made as a set of similar spaces, classrooms, which can be repurposed whenever needed. The enclosed classrooms are alternated with open covered ones that can be used for students gathering or outdoor classes.

The architectural language is developed around the idea of indirect lightening. The sunlight is controlled by the walls which are rotated so that the light is directed towards the walls which disperse it. The materials used are concrete structure with brick walls and wood panels.
