Project 1 Development

As a group we decided that integrating both ideas of the sliding panel system and lattice type ceiling would create an over crowded and busy space. In order to integrate the RARE Achitecture concepts we decided to keep it simple.

Above is a sketch which integrates the lattice system wrapping around as the skin of the building. Decking was also used to connect the two classrooms together. The deck creates an outdoor learning area between the two classrooms.

We decided as a group to create one classroom that can be adjoined to another classroom. Therefore the school has the option of either hiring one or two classrooms depending on their needs.

Below is an image that indicates us working through the plan and idea of the sliding panels within a 2m grid system. The panel system is ideal for this situation because it can be easily transported and put together on site!

We decided to integrate the lattice system on the back wall of the portable classroom. The lattice is more of a square shaped shelving system from floor to ceiling height. The top left of the plan indicates a wet area sitting adjacent to the computer/reading area that is separated by a partition.

Above is a sketch indicating the panel sizing and positioning of columns. At this stage we were trying to work out the panel sizes and appropriate system for the building!
