DESCRIPTION
The Re:design Option explores the challenges of different educational building types, and looks at how designers can help reveal the hidden potential of our existing schools. Looking at a Victorian Annex, Space Strategies explore how the re-design of an existing Victorian school building could meet the demands of a 21st Century learning facility, and create closer links into the community it serves.
