It's important to note that the philosophy of Shreyas Foundation might extend beyond just architecture, as educational and cultural organizations often have broader missions encompassing various fields like arts, culture, education, and community development. To understand the specific philosophy of Shreyas Foundation.

Here, I tried to capture buildings from the standpoint of architectural comprehension, geometry, light and shadows, and the livingness of any building in relation to its setting. Also attempted to demonstrate how one can think about design and become sensitive to many aspects of design.

The Shreyas Foundation Comprehensive School was Ar. Doshi’s commission for Leena Mangaldas, daughter of Sarladevi Sarabhai, in 1963. Having been inspired by the Montessori concept of learning that lay importance on learning by observation, Mrs Mangaldas urged Doshi to envision Shreyas as a series of liberating encounters that encouraged children to learn from nature by engaging with its inherent experiences.
The campus is designed for allowing the act of meandering and discovering- aspects that are crucial in developing a curiosity for learning. The unbuilt takes over the built purposefully, reinforcing the humility of man-made creations in the face of nature- gestures that implicitly nurture values of sensitivity and respect towards the environment and ecology.

I try to make my own buildings in such a way that, ultimately you don’t notice them as being dominant. What you notice is the life that goes on around them. : Doshi
