An outside classroom

Process of Project

1. Workshop and idea development and testing

2. My final proposal

3. Tendering and Construction?

2

Ideas developed from workshop

Model showing people climbing on the roof and underneath. Model showing a vertical structurein which you can sit and talk, chillout and look at nature

Model showing wooden beam structure inspiring visible consturction elements and methods

Full scale shelter making led to understanding that any structure should be open sided and cannot be used as a hide out

Full scale shelter making led to understanding of apertures and views in and out of the structure

Models showed ativities taking place in the structure such as playing pool or chess

Seating, ladders and boundaries A transparent roof in Nathanials model helped us decide that a transparent roof canopy might be useful in our proposal

Sitting places, things to look at, things to do Multiple ideas, interventions held together by a single structure Seat and table layout with larger and smaller seats, a climbing net/wall.

How might the outside learning space be used

a place to sit and watch whats going on

a place to chill out with mates

a place to sit and chat to play a game

a shelter from the rain a place to make stuff a common place to meet friends

An object to work out on

A submerged walkway dug into the slope of the site leading the user into the middle of the artwork. The user enters the structure from below, so is exposed to the structure, and can understand the way the artworkis constructed. The walkway sides will also be etched with a narrative reflecting on communication, so providing an added opportunity for learning.

A submerged rising ramp leading to the base of the artwork provides a definedjourney and develops anticipation for the user. The entire form of the artwork would be exposed.

A square would be excavated surrounding the artwork so creating an open but more protected area in front of the structure. 

A balancing beam leading to the artwork defines a route into the pieceand provides an added point of contact and interaction with it away from the major volume.
