We are currently exploring how to look at space using a visual brief as a democratic collage of ideas that many people can contribute to – this image developed by Matt at Redmak uses ideas produced by Asri our Part II student to take a journey with input that may be from the past or stretch into the future.Matt's Concept Story blank

Designing space for whole school activity

At St Ann’s Primary School we are looking at how to make space for combined class activity and taking class projects into the whole school environment  this is turning into a market place space or Town Square  the idea is that this space can be interpreted independently according to who is using it. It is envisaged as a flexible fun and fast changing space.

Matt Powell our Part I student from Nottingham has been exploring how he would use the space
