The document describes the Druk White Lotus School designed by Arup Associates and Jonathan Rose in Shey, India, which uses local materials like mud bricks and traditional construction techniques combined with sustainable technologies to educate Ladakhi people in an arid climate. The school consists of two parallel nursery and infant buildings arranged around an open courtyard, with residential accommodation placed along a separate north-south spine, and all buildings have south-facing glazed facades to maximize solar gain while granite walls provide thermal mass and wind protection. The design also incorporates solar ventilated latrines and a water distribution system to address issues of drought in the region.

The design of this educational community for Ladakhi people uses local materials and traditional techniques (such as a mud roof), combined with appropriate technology. The nursery and infants school consists of two parallel buildings framing an open courtyard. Residential accommodation is placed along a separate north-south spine. All the buildings have glazed south-facing facades to gather the suns energy. The other sides are enclosed by granite walls that provide thermal mass and protection against wind in the winter. Timber portal frames resist earthquake loading. Solar ventilated latrines and a waterdistribution system help to combat drought in this arid region.
