Project 3 - The School

In our groups for project 3 we each had to select a building from our master plan to design. I have chosen to design the art and technology building. This building sits at the back left of the site as indicated on the master plan.

As a group we decided to concentrate on the idea of an 'open and adaptable sustainable learning community.'

Below is a quick sketch of our revised master plan. We decided as a group and after speaking to the tutors that it was better to flip the plan. This was because the best part of the site (with the best northern light) was taken up by the auditorium which does not necessarily need natural lighting.


The drawing below is my idea of the art/technology department. I don't particularly like the design as it is very boring and conventional. I'm a little stuck for ideas and the tutors suggested designing a different building. However i think i will stick with designing this department. I will continue to develop the idea of outdoor learning courtyards that are directly linked to the classrooms.
