Darul Hikmat Education Centre

Overview

Dar-ul-Hikmat, is a teacher training center with a small primary school for the Christian community in Lahore. The brief required the building to be a low cost structure with multi-purpose spaces that provided flexibility and scope for future expansion. The success of the center has led to the expansion of the complex to include a high school and the establishment of similar schools intwo other villages.
The use of brick as both the structural and decorative material with an emphasis on local techniques and craftsmanship creates an ambiance with is not
intimidating to the students who come from poor urban and rural backgrounds. The indigenous materials and simple building technology used resulted in savings in the budget which was effectively used to incorporate traditional crafts such as frescoes, patterned marble
floors and carved wooden doors thereby also embellishing the building with traditional symbols and associations.
