Review / Reflection - Draft 2

This time round, I took a more direct approach to the locality, the needs of the client, and the values of its purpose as an educational facility. A 'form follows fucntion' approach, detailed below, allowed me design from the following parameters:

- It must harness and exploit the landscape and it's natural beauty/features

- It must take the shape of landscape

- It must sit within landscape

- It must pays homage to the spirit of the locality

- It must provide explicit and ample private and public spaces

- It must consider the physical, cognitive and developmental needs of the child

- Interior is catered to the developmental needs of the child according to the EYFS.

- Clear relationship between researched and observed themes, real world context and brief

- Effectively embodies the values of its purpose (symbiosis, interdependence, growth etc)

- Symbiosis between client (child) and brief

- between architecture and nature (ramp) - between private and public

- between Parent and Child

- Addresses geography of the locality directly

- Addresses needs of the child directly

- Addresses the concept of learning from landscape directly

The subsequent process of design is detailed in the sketchbook images below, where the final proposal begins to manifest.
