Curated by Brian Carter, professor of architecture and dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, this exhibition of drawings, models and photographs documents a new international design award-winning school in Ladakh that is deeply rooted in traditional values and cultures while advancing modern educational concepts. It is located at the northeastern boundary of India—an area known as Little Tibet, which is set in the high peaks of the Himalayas. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the Patron of the Trust that supports the school.
