Above the Noise

“Building a school in Kolkata, one of India’s most populous cities, comes with a set of steep challenges. Among these is the need to overcome problems caused by the city’s constant traffic noise and high pollution levels. Commissioned to build the Modern High School International – a co-educational international school comprising classrooms, a library, a maker’s workshop, an exhibition space and communal areas for students – Singapore-based architecture firm Studio Sklim decided to face these issues head-on. “Our solution was to embrace the chaos,” says Kevin Lim, the practice’s founding principal.”

“Three recent projects by Studio SKLIM exemplify the current thought processes that govern design methods, techniques, technology, and materiality. These projects span across the realms of material research, architecture, interiors, and product design. ‘The Techne of Things’ abstracts the interplay between these thought processes, expertise, practical experience, and the dialogues among these distinct domains to yield the design outcomes produced by the studio.”
