initial outside classroom proposal
DESCRIPTION
Initial proposal for the outside classroom for Building Schools for the Future program in BristolTRANSCRIPT
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.

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.
