Atelier 02: Learning Neighbourhoods
Project
The facility will become a ‘Laboratory of Planetary and Social Balance’ in which exploration and experimentation will lead to design outputs that respond carefully to the planet itself through the use of materials and resource usage as well as those who inhabit the planet, being humans, their communities and nature. The school will become an integral part of the community both through the opportunity of involvement it offers to students and the neighborhood as well as the openness of the site to the public and reintroducing the Dury Hill route through the Broadmarsh to the city, creating a ‘Learning Neighborhood’ and acting as a catalyst for ‘Knitting the City’.
The main focus will be the community and how through the use of architectural installations the students as designers can create beneficial outcomes, deal with boundaries and create communities that are knitted together. ‘The Laboratory of Change’ will encourage students to research and collaborate with communities to create solutions through the use of design. The school will be a space in which collaboration and integration between teachers, students and the community is key in providing creative and responsive solutions to social problems.
